Our students have completed the NWEA reading and math assessments. Next week, we will begin our Fall Data Analysis days where our teachers regularly review assessment data, including standardized test scores, classroom assessments, and informal observations, to gain insights into each student's strengths and areas for improvement. This data-driven approach helps us identify specific skills or concepts that students may be struggling with, allowing us to provide targeted support and interventions.
Homecoming Spirit Week has been a blast! The staff and students showed GL spirit through dressing up; from PJ’s, cowboys and cowgirls, summer beach fun, beyond bright colors, to the steady Grand Ledge blue and gold all showed tremendous school spirit! We hope you can enjoy participating with the annual Homecoming Parade and best of luck to our High School varsity football team tonight!
