End of Year Testing

Testing season is right around the corner, and as a parent, you play a crucial role in setting your student up for success. A little preparation at home can make a big difference in their confidence and performance.

Here are some tips to help your student do their best:

• Get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast.
• Make the morning relaxing and arrive at school on time.
• Pace yourself, read questions carefully, and take your time.

Here’s why state tests are important:

• They are an independent measure of your child’s learning.
• You can see if your child is on target for their grade level, and how they compare to peers statewide.
• They help your child’s teacher know what’s working in the classroom and what can be improved. 
• All educators at your child’s school can see if education goals are being met.
• They inform the school district if certain schools need additional support.
• Results are used by state leaders to coordinate additional funding and resources.

What is Granite School District’s Fund Balance?

Granite School District has recently received a handful of questions from patrons and news media about our fund balance.

Like all school districts and other large organizations, Granite School District (GSD) saves funds over time to use for various district purposes.

• The district is legally required to maintain certain levels of reserve funds for certain purposes.
• Saving funds for specific future needs reflects prudent financial planning.
• Sufficient reserves help the district secure a high bond (credit) rating, resulting in lower bond interest costs and savings for taxpayers.

These funds play an important role in the financial health of GSD. Click here to review a .pdf handout that provides more details about GSDs fund balance.
