Herriman Elementary is located in the southwest corner of the District's boundaries in the rapidly growing city of Herriman.

The mission of Herriman is to create a safe, positive environment to educate students academically, socially, and physically, enabling students to become life-long learners and responsible and productive citizens. A strategic plan for the school was completed in December, 2000. Our school theme is Soaring to Achieve New Heights.

• Herriman Elementary serves over 1,490 students in grades K-6.
• The school opened in July 1999 on a standard nine month schedule. However, a year-round school calendar was adopted beginning July, 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. During July, the school will close to allow all students a common vacation.
• The school day begins at 8:55 a.m. and ends at 3:50 p.m. except on Fridays when school is
  dismissed at 1:50 p.m. to provide time for teachers to plan curriculum and receive training.
• The teacher/pupil ratio is 1 to 22.30 in first grade, 1 to 23.10 in second grade, 1 to 24.60 in third grade, and 1 to 26.70 in grades four, five and six; however, individual class sizes vary.
• The faculty is comprised of experienced teachers and many have advanced degrees in early childhood and elementary education.  Many teachers have obtained endorsements in reading, ELL or Gifted/Talented Education.
• The school's curriculum meets or exceeds all state and District standards. The classwork in each grade follows the State and District Core Curriculum Guidelines.
• Basic subjects are taught in self-contained classrooms. Teachers work in teams to provide
  instruction in basic subjects, arts, physical education and music.
• Herriman follows the District dress standard which requires clean, neat, modest clothing. Students are expected to learn self-discipline. If serious problems arise, the student, teacher, parents,
  counselor, and principal work as a team to find the best solution for the student.
• Herriman's outstanding, progressive staff is competent and trained to give students an excellent
  education. Teachers are evaluated regularly with the aim of maintaining high quality instruction.
• Herriman has a resource program that includes a variety of special services for students with special learning needs.
• The school has an excellent Instructional Media Center which offers students a variety of materials for academic study and personal enjoyment. Students are encouraged to go to the center and use the materials for class assignments, independent study, and reading for pleasure.
• Nutritious, well-balanced lunches are served each day. The student price is $1.50.
• Bus service is provided for all students who live 1.5 miles or more from the school.
• Herriman has a 30-station eMac computer lab where students learn basic computer skills and keyboarding techniques. Technology is integrated into the curriculum with computers in each classroom.
• Visitors are always welcome at Herriman and asked to drop by the office upon arrival. The Herriman staff is happy to assist visitors and anxious to help new students feel at home.
• Additional opportunities for recognition include the High Flying Hawk Award for academic achievement and the Students of the Week Recognition Program, and the Principal's Citizenship Honor Roll.
• Additional activities offered include grade level musical and drama productions, monthly citizenship focus, participation in PTA Reflections, Geography Bee, Spelling Bee and a Science Fair. Students may also participate in our "Herriman MacNews" weekly student news broadcasts.

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.

Direct Writing Assessment (DWA)
The Direct Writing Assessment (DWA) is designed to assess the writing skills of 6th and 9th grade students in February and March each year.  The following six components of writing are assessed: ideas & content, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions.
 

Grade 6	Average Points Earned
Year	Ideas / Content	Organization	Voice	Word Choice	Sentence Fluency	Conventions	Composite
2003/04	3.6	3.5	3.8	3.5	3.6	3.5	21.5
2004/05	3.3	3.3	3.5	3.3	3.3	3.2	19.8

2007/08*	2.9	2.9	3.0	3.0	2.9	2.0	17.6

* Each year the direct writing prompt changes, therefore caution should be used in making year to year conclusions.
