Southland Elementary Visit

I spent lunch today at Southland Elementary.  I enjoyed visiting with all the teachers there.  I was also able to talk to the new student teachers.  One item that came up there was the SB 150 requiring a specific reading test for grades 1-3 prior to mid-year.  The Literacy Coaches have spent since before Winter Break going to all the elementary schools to do this testing.  By law, principals must send a letter to parents of students who are not on grade level telling parents of available interventions and then implementing those interventions.  Go to Utah.gov to see the law.
