Tips on Influenza
H1N1
What to do if your child is sick
Click here for flu information
The Davis School District is partnering with the Davis County Health Department to keep residents up-to-date on the impact of both influenza and H1N1 in its schools. In an effort to do that, the district has developed a website specifically regarding the flu.

The website above is full of all sorts of resources, including the following vital information: If a school-aged child gets an influenza-like illness — coughing, sore throat, sneezing and/or a fever above 100 degrees — school officials are asking parents to keep that child home until their fever has subsided for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.

New SMART grading tool
Report Card
We have a new look!
SMART reports what students have "learned."
Click here to find out more about SMART
As schools move forward in Standards Based Education, we evolve and find better ways to let parents know what students have learned and are able to do. When a student masters a standard according to the DESK standards, we are able to report that to parents online each day and also with quarterly SMART report (our new report card). SMART consists of a 3 point rubric which your child's teacher may have already shared with you. In the past we have had a 1-4 leveled grading system which some have equated with the ABCD grades still used in secondary schools. SMART is different. Take a look for yourself and learn about the changes. Information about SMART can be accessed by clicking on the link above. The changes are exciting and emphasize that student achievement is more than a race or competition and that ALL students can learn and progress.

BEVERLEY TAYLOR SORENSON ARTS LEARNING PROGRAM
ARTS
How can we support the BTS Program at Mountain View?
The Beverley Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program (BTS) is a teaching partnership between highly qualified arts specialists and elementary classroom teachers in only 56 Utah schools. Mountain View is one of these schools with music as our selected "art." The music specialist teaches the skills of music and the classroom teacher selects areas of student learning that need reinforcement. They work together in a side-by-side teaching model and integrate the curriculum to improve student learning in selected core areas.

This model brings the arts back into the classroom, and reinforces classroom core as the art form is integrated with language arts, math, science, and social studies. Arts integration provides students with a deeper level of understanding in grade-level core content, and it also brings joyful learning back into the lives of students and teachers.

Due to budget shortfalls, the Beverley Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program is in danger of disappearing after the 2009-2010 school year unless the Utah Legislature acts to renew funding.

To spread the word about the benefits of this program—both to local communities and to the Utah Legislature—Friends of Art Works for Kids needs the help of parents, teachers, and other community leaders.
