What a way to kick off the last day of school.

Our flag ceremony looked a little different this year celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States of America. We were lucky to have the JROTC from to help us honor our country. Our 5th graders even learned and recited the preamble to the constitution.

As usual we ended with a traditional HIP-HIP-Hooray to celebrate the amazing school year we’ve had.

“Adventure is worthwhile in itself”- Amelia Earhart

Last week we welcomed home Amelia Armstrong after she spent the last 5 years traveling the world going on adventures and sharing it with our students here at Armstrong. Although her journey originally was supposed to last only 2 years, the last 5 years have been not only entertaining, and enjoyable but also educational as our students studied about the different places she traveled.

You can see more of her adventures on her page

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

These amazing students were kindergarteners the year the school opened and were our sixth graders when the pandemic hit. We are glad they could walk through Armstrong one last time.

Best of luck with whatever the future holds!

We wanted to take a moment and celebrate our amazing students and teachers!

Today we received a check from Granite School District for improved attendance. Armstrong already has higher levels of attendance than most elementary schools in Granite, but from last year to this year, our attendance has increased enough that we were recognized and celebrated. Thanks for getting our Eagles to school!

We have finished end of year testing. Our students did a phenomenal job! From last year to this year, we went up in the number of proficient students on the RISE Test (grades 3-5) in every subject area. Our math scores this year are higher than we have had in the last several years. Similarly, in both Acadience Reading and Acadience Math (grades K-3) our students hit the highest percent proficient they’ve hit in years.

We are so proud of our Eagles and all their hard work!
