Salaries and Employee Benefits

$72,000

Funds will be used to hire paraprofessionals to provide extra reading, writing, and math support in the classroom and pullout reading interventions. They will also be used to hire a new Refocus person for our school wide character development program, and to hire a person to run our take-home library. Because of hours and days missed by employees throughout the year, extra funds are sometimes accumulated toward the end of the year. EES will use any extra funds accumulated because of this towards our goal of bolstering computer equipment and software.

Textbooks

$8,000

Funds will be used to purchase consumable student math books and reading materials to bolster our Tier 1 classroom instruction, Tier II small group reading instruction, and DYAD reading.

Equipment

$7,000

Funds will be used to continue purchasing iPads, iPad keyboards, iPad cases and headphones for the iPads. We will also be purchasing Apple 4 TVs for a teacher in each grade level.

Professional Development

$4,000

Funds will be used to provide professional development and training focused on improving reading, writing, and math instruction.

Field Trips

(Cover travel and entrance fees)

Ephraim Elementary would like to use Trust Lands funds to help us give the students in grades second through fifth greater opportunities to be involved with academic field trips. These hands-on experiences provide students crucial opportunities to experience real world learning experiences. These field trips directly correlate with the Utah Core Curriculum at each grade level.
