Services

The Office of Student Advocacy and Access is responsible for preschool through twelfth grade student support programs funded through the US Department of Education and the Utah State Office of Education. This department provides supplemental support to students who are economically disadvantaged, culturally and linguistically diverse, homeless, migrant, refugee and Native American. The department operates Family Literacy Centers to support parents' involvement with their children's education, learn English, develop computer skills and earn a high school GED. Providing professional development to teachers to earn an ESL Endorsement, use technology to enhance instruction and build skills in working with at-risk students is also a major function. The Department actively seeks grants to strengthen the support given to schools.
