UINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #42024 ANNUAL REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERS1superintendent’s welcome to the 2024 Annual Stakeholders Report for Uinta County School District Four. This report provides information regarding our district wide accomplishments, district strategic plan, student achievement and nances. Please take some time to read through this report and let us know how we can better serve you and the children in our community. We take very seriously the huge responsibility we play in educating the children in our community and we understand the positive impact we can have on their lives each and every day. Let’s work collaboratively to ensure that all children in our district receive an outstanding education in hopes of preparing them for a successful future. Through teamwork, communication, and mutual support we can overcome the many difculties that the world presents as we try to prepare our children for adult life.This annual report is dedicated to the loving memory of Uinta 4 Board Member Kelly Carpenter, who passed away on November 11, 2023. We had the privilegeof working withKellythese past twenty years during his time on the school board.Kellywas the ideal school board member. He loved Uinta 4 and was proud to be part of our success. He was salt of the earth, full of common sense, and made every decision based on what was best for our students. He regularly praised staff members and appreciated all of our hard work. Words cannot adequately express our gratitude and appreciationforKelly. He will be missed as an excellent board member and a good friend. May he rest in peace.Jeffrey M. Newton Superintendent of Schools

Additionally, if a new student moves in during high school, it is expected that they graduate on time with their class or they too will count against our graduation rate. Mountain View High School’s graduation rate is certainly something to be proud of and it is something that the district will continue to focus on as we look toward continuous improvement in our district. The school district completed many major facility maintenance projects this summer. Most notably, we completed slurry seals on both of the school parking lots and completely replaced the K-8 asphalt playground. We have already targeted the K-8 roof replacement project for the summer of 2025. The oors in both of our buildings are shining brightly, the carpets in both buildings are freshly shampooed and the football eld and grounds have never looked better. Many thanks to the maintenance and custodial staff for their hard work this summer. It is greatly appreciated. At our May 2019 board meeting, the Board of Trusteesapproved ALICE (Alert-Lockdown- Inform- Counter- Evacuate) as our school safety program. The systematic training for this program was conducted throughout the entire 2019-20 school year until we closed in March. During the 2020-21 school year, our drills were very limited due to the desire to maintain social distancing and focus on COVID management with the hopes of keeping our schools open for in-person instruction all year. We returned to normal with our ALICE training and drills during the 2nd semester of the 2021-22 school year and we once again will conduct monthly drills during the 2024-25 school year. The training for all staff members consists of three components:

4accomplishments and topics of interestUINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #42024 ANNUAL REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERSComponent 1 –eLearningOnline Course (Staff): This is the foundation for how all our staff are trained in ALICE strategies and learn how to respond to a Violent Intruder. eLearning is tracked and monitored to see who has taken the online course and successfully completed the test at the end. This test serves as a compliance metric. This course is self-paced. This ensures that all staff have received the same consistent training and they test their knowledge after the course. The recommendation is that the course is completed by every employee prior to running any drills or scenarios led by our Certied Instructors. TheeLearning component is a multi-year course that puts our staff down a progressive learning path and helps build a long-term, sustainable program for the district. Our staff has completed theeLearningcomponent each fall since of August 2019.Component 2 - Instructor led drills/scenarios (Instructor): Ben Carr,Bill Erickson, Jeff Newton and Tarl Van Dusenattempt to bring the real life training and scenarios into the schools. We hope to train to the level of reality to increase situational awareness for staff and students and to help staff and student become more comfortable and uid in school safety strategies. We do monthly drills that are discussed with student and parents prior to implementation to help raise awareness and reduce anxiety for both students and parents. We focus on age-appropriate drills and use local law enforcement as a resource. These four individuals became ALICE certied instructors by completing a 3-day course in Lawrence, Kansas and Evanston, Wyoming.Component 3 – Organizational Certication: This is the policy/procedure and documentation phase. We are eligible to become school and district certied.Included in this certication is ALICE’s 120+ page implementation guide which includes policy and procedure templates for our use.It is very exciting to utilize this proactive, research-based strategy for improving the safety of our students.

Goal 2-Objective 1 of our district strategic plan states that the district will meet or exceed a 95% daily student attendance rate. The district strives to increase student attendance by providing relevant learning to our students and a warm, friendly environment that supports the academic, physical and emotional needs of students. The Mountain View High School Volleyball team won the 2023 State Volleyball Championship. The Mountain View High School Cheer Team won the Class 3A Game Day Cheer State Championship Award. Congratulations! We are very proud of all of these athletes and coaches.Photo credit: WHSAA

6accomplishments and topics of interestUINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #42024 ANNUAL REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERS We had 91% of our high school students participate in activities/athletics during the 2023-2024 school year. Studies show that students who participate in extra-curricular activities have a higher GPA in high school. We appreciate the coaches and sponsors who provide these extra-curricular opportunities for our students to enjoy. Colette Bugas and Linda Newton were named Mentors of the Year from by the Disability:IN Uinta County organization. Tarl Van Dusen received the Wyoming Art Education Association’s Art Educator of the Year Award Recipient for Administrators. Cami Brown and Sarah Butters were named Wyoming Educators of the Year for the Wyoming Agriculture in the Classroom organization.

7accomplishments and topics of interest accomplishments and topics of interestUINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #42024 ANNUAL REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERS School districts in Wyoming were able administer the ACT and the WY-TOPP test this past year in a more “normal” setting. We are very pleased of our results when compared to the state average: MVHS had the 7th highest ACT composite score in the entire state. State law requires every year Uinta 4 conducts an annual facility planning meeting with the School Facilities Department (SFD). In this annual meeting the SFD and the school district review our property proles, building leases, building enhancements, enrollment projections, building condition scores, building security, and major maintenance needs. This meeting was in January of 2023 and will be held again in November of 2024. Mountain View High School will continue to require systematic, regular maintenance due to its age. Our new K-8 building is eleven years old now. We will focus on preventative maintenance and begin to complete larger projects, as needed. Overall, the district ofce, bus barn, and high school are considered to be in very good condition. Therefore, there are no plans at this time to replace any of these facilities.

As you can see, the district has enjoyed stable enrollment numbers for the most part. Recently, we have seen smaller Kindergarten classes every other year. Remember, funding for school districts in Wyoming is based on Average Daily Membership (ADM) so projected enrollment is something we track very carefully.

9accomplishments and topics of interest accomplishments and topics of interestUINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #42024 ANNUAL REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERS Over the past six years, our middle school students have taken 42 different subtests on the WY-TOPP and scored above the state average on 37 of those subtests! We believe these amazing results are product of excellent teaching and learning in our entire K-8 system.

10accomplishments and topics of interestUINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #42024 ANNUAL REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERS In our quest for continuous improvement, Uinta 4 implemented the Professional Learning Community (PLC) process via collaborative learning teams during the 2017-18 school year and we continue to nd success with this model. These teams focus on students learning at high levels, collective responsibility by staff members in this effort and results of improved student learning validated by formative and summative assessments. This process continued during the past school year. Collaborative learning teams met the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month. These teams either met from 7:00 to 7:45 in the morning or from 3:30-4:15 in the afternoon. Additionally, during the rst 90 minutes of each staff development day (8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.), collaborative learning teams meet as part of the PLC process. At the January board meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the 2024-25 calendar for Uinta County School District 4. We will be on a 161-student day alternative calendar that allows the district to strategically not schedule school on the Fridays that we know we will have high student and staff absences due to school activities. The district calendar can be viewed on the district website at www.uinta4.com. Retirees Marlene Flint and Geraldine Sing were honored at the 2024 Chamber of Commerce Banquet for their amazing contribution to the entire school community over many years. They truly made an impact that will ripple through eternity. The school district recognized some outstanding 5th, 8th, and 12th grade students at our annual President’s Education Awards Program (PEAP) banquet. Those students recognized performed at or above the 85th percentile in either reading and/or math on a standardized test and achieved a grade point average of at least a 3.5. In its simplest form, the PEAP banquet honors students who are in the top 15% in the nation in reading and/or math. If Uinta 4’s numbers held true as compared to the rest of the nation, we should have honored 26 total 5th, 8th, and 12th graders.

11accomplishments and topics of interest accomplishments and topics of interestUINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #42024 ANNUAL REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERSInstead, we honored 56 students. Beating the odds in this regard is not by blind luck or accident. It is made possible by the positive relationship that exists between families and this school district—a relationship based on trust and commitment with an unwavering focus on doing what is best for our kids. The PEAP banquet was a celebration of student success that is a product of an entire community making student success the top priority. Thank you to parents and grandparents for being our teammates as we educate your kids. Thank you to the staff members in our schools for your commitment and effort. Thank you to our students for putting forth your best effort in the classroom.

12accomplishments and topics of interestUINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #42024 ANNUAL REPORT TO STAKEHOLDERS Mountain View High School once again hosted a foreign exchange student during the 2023-24 school year. Lorenzo from Brazil was a welcomed addition to Mountain View High School. You may remember that Mountain View High School hosted Namfa from Thailand during the 2022-23 school year. The school district believes that it is very benecial for our own students to have the opportunity to meet and interact with students from different cultures. We had four seniors receive the Trustees Scholarship from the University of Wyoming this year. Four students receiving this prestigious scholarship out of a graduating class of 61 greatly exceeds typical expectations and percentages. Last year, we had three graduating seniors receive the Trustees Scholarship. Seven recipients over the past two years is simply amazing! On May 24th, 61 seniors graduated from Mountain View High School. Though we hated to see our seniors leave, we wish them the best and know they will nd success! Congratulations to the Class of 2024 Valedictorian, Spencer Erickson, and Salutatorian, Ali Sibert.
