Provost's Theme for the 2012-13 School Year is:

We are going to college, no excuses!

Look for the college and university flags outside of every classroom to see which school the teachers at Provost are representing to go along with our theme. Every student can go to college one day and it starts with their efforts made now as a student here at Provost!

 Hello and Welcome to Provost!

You have found the webpage of one of the BEST elementary schools in Utah-- a gem school of the Provo community.  The teaching and support staff is one of the most experienced and innovative. Here, students truly receive a world class education.

Students have a wide variety of activities to choose from including being a part of our school musical, chess club, running club, choir, orchestra, and storytelling, just to name a few.  We love our students and greatly appreciate the excellent support of our parents and patrons! 

Thanks,

Dr. Oliverson

 From the School Community Council:


 The fourth community council meeting of this school year was held March 19th.  

 

The following topics were discussed: 

A plan was formulated to address class size for next year. 


   This year's Trustland plan is directed towards providing help primarily to the 2nd grade level in the form of highly qualified aides.  Under the teacher's supervision, these aides will assist instruction and provide differentiated and leveling support opportunities for more students.  Data will be regularly collected on students outcomes, and teachers will adjust learning centers as needed to best utilize the help they receive through the additional aide support.

Check the PTA bulletin board across from the office for who to contact to help and sign up if you are willing to help whenever it is needed.

 

Character Counts!

Provost students are showing how much good character they have!

A different "Character Counts" theme is chosen each month as we recognize students from every class for having a characteristic trait that is helpful in achieving success both academically and outside of education.

The last Character Counts assembly was in September. The theme for September's Character Counts was "Tenacious".  Students were recognized in the assembly and recieved a certificate and vouchers from loacl businesses.

Be sure to check out the display of our Character Counts students up on the wall across from the office from month to month throughout the school year!

Every student at Provost can show us how much 'Character Counts!'
