Mission
The mission of Herriman Elementary is to create a safe, positive environment to educate students academically, socially and physically, enabling students to become life-long learners and responsible citizens.

School Demographics/Schedule
Herriman Elementary serves approximately 1,100 students in grades K-6.The school opened in July 1999 on a standard 9-month schedule. However, a year-round school calendar was adopted beginning July of 2002. Students are divided into four attendance groups or tracks. Typically, each track is in school for 45 days and then has a 15-day vacation. All students have a common vacation during July.

The school day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:25 p.m. except on Fridays when school is dismissed at 1:25 p.m. to provide time for teachers to plan curriculum and receive training.

The teacher/pupil ratio is 1 to 22.10 in Kindergarten, 22.3 in 1st and 2nd grades, 23.1 in 3rd grade, and 26.3 in 4th, 5th, & 6th grades; however, individual class sizes vary. The faculty is comprised of highly qualified teachers. Many have advanced degrees in early childhood and elementary education.  Many teachers have obtained endorsements in reading, ESL or Gifted/Talented Education or are working on degrees in Math Education.

Curriculum/Areas of Focus
The school's curriculum meets or exceeds all state and District standards. State and District Core Curriculum Guidelines are followed. Core subjects are taught in self-contained classrooms. We have 5 areas of focus:  1) Literacy; 2) Math/Numeracy; 3) Differentiated Instruction; 4) Music, Visual, & Performing Arts & Physical Education; and 5) Technology.

Technology
As part of Herriman Elementary’s focus on Technology, we have 120 computers available for student use at any time.  80 of these computers make up 4 mobile labs. Teachers use computers to facilitate student instruction and student learning in their classrooms to facilitate integration of the newly adopted Renzulli School-wide Enrichment Model for gifted and accelerated learners. This revolving door model allows all students to participate in their areas of interest at the level they are most comfortable. Students and parents have access to these resources 24/7.

Values/Community
Support of community values is important at Herriman Elementary.  In April of 2009, school administration met with members of the Herriman community including, city officials, Jordan District Board of Education members, emergency responders, teachers, business leaders, parents, and PTA members to discuss and identify core community values that the school could reinforce to support parents and the community.  The values identified which will be reinforced at school are: 1) Compassion; 2) Respect; 3) Integrity; 4) Community Identity; 5) Continuous Learning; and 6) Character.

School Behavior Intervention Plan
Our School Behavior Intervention Team created a school-wide behavior expectation model with positive reinforcement components (HAWK 200) for students who followed school expectations. We implemented the program for teachers during the spring of 2008 and for students at the beginning of the 2008-09 school year.  Last year, 1900 students were recognized for fulfilling school-wide expectations with a phone call home to parents as well as receiving recognition among peers by having their name placed on the HAWK 200 board in the cafeteria. The result of the implementation of the School-wide Behavior Intervention program was a 40% decrease in major incidents (bullying, fighting, etc.) over last year at this same time.

Criterion Referenced Tests (CRT)
The Core Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs) are administered at the end of each school year to help assess how well students have mastered the standards and objectives set forth in the State of Utah Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science core curricula.   Student achievement is reported as the percent of students reaching “proficient” by earning a Level 3 or Level 4 performance on the Core CRT.

IOWA Tests
The IOWA Test of Basic Skills provides a comparison of achievement to students across the United States in reading, language arts, math, science and social studies.  The IOWA test is given each fall to students in grades 3, 5, and 8.  The Jordan School District School also administers the IOWA to students in grade 6.  Results are reported as the average percentile rank.  The national average is the 50th percentile in each area.
