KEEPING YOU INFORMED
This report is a summary of some indicators of the performance of our school. No single report can tell the whole story of our school’s educational program or the people who work and learn here. We encourage you to find out firsthand by visiting our school. If you are a parent of one of our students, we invite you to take an active role in your child’s learning because studies show that when parents are involved, students do better in school.
HOW WE ARE IMPROVING
Significant improvements in student standardized test scores have been made especially with Hispanic and LEP subgroups of students that generally test at lower levels than their peers.
Parma Middle School has received a technology grant for improving the math program through the use of interactive individualized instruction via
SMART Boards and take-home DVD’s.

OUR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
Our goal is to provide a place for students to learn without distractions and concerns for safety. We closely monitor activities on our campus and offer comprehensive programs to prevent alcohol, tobacco, and substance abuse. As required by state and federal laws and rules, we collect, monitor, and report on crimes and substance abuse incidents on our campus and at school activities. A complete report of this information about our school and district is available at: http://www.sde.idaho.gov/ipd/reportcard/SchoolReportCard.asp or by contacting Lianne Yamamoto (ext. 1670) in our school district.
