Welcome back to the 2023-2024 school year!
I am so happy to welcome back our Grizzlies. This time of year is so exciting, because we get to see our Grizzly cubs, the Kindergarteners start their K-12 journey, and our Seniors and Exiting Transition students started their last first day of school. We have so much to look forward to this year.
I am so excited to
Our middle school is following our elementary school model this year. Clover Park School District teachers are teaching Clover Park School District students! This allows students to have real teachers during online instructions to answer questions, the flexibility to get in-person help if needed, have a chance to build relationships with peers on our flex days, experience field trips, participate in family nights and more. Our elementary has a beautiful community that is thriving, and we are excited to add our middle school students to the mix! Don't worry, our students who need flexibility outside of the scheduled classes will have the option to access the instruction on their own time.
Our high school students are busy getting ready to start working on their credits for graduation. Did you know to graduate from high school you not only have to earn credits, but you have to complete non-credit requirements? These requirements include:
- Washington State History
- High School and Beyond Plan
- Proficiency in ELA (English)
- Proficiency in Math
We are proud to offer many pathways for our High School students to show proficiency in ELA or Math. We believe students should have many opportunities to show their proficiency, and we prioritize offering many opportunities. At GLA we offer students:
- State Smarter Balanced Assessments in ELA and Math
- ASVAB testing
- ACT and SAT testing
- A Career and Technical Education pathway
- A Personalized Pathway Option
- Bridge to College ELA and Math Courses
Let's have a great 2024-2025 Grizzlies!!!
