Vision Statement
The vision of Glacier is to create a rigorous, dynamic and accountable learning community that is built upon voluntary association, personalized student learning, high academic standards for all students and parent leadership. Glacier will accomplish these four complementary goals by providing all students and parents with: personal, experienced teacher guidance and support; powerful and proven instruction; ongoing, multiple modality assessments; and a large and growing inventory of high quality, standards aligned instructional resources that offer both breadth and depth in curriculum and auxiliary materials. As a result, students will develop the skills necessary to become responsible lifelong learners who understand dedication and desire as the keys for success.
E.S.L.R.’s
To define who we are as a school and what we want to accomplish with students, Glacier High School Charter has adopted clearly defined E.S.L.R.’s (Expected Student Learning Results). E.S.L.R.’s by definition are broad based educational goals for all students. There are clearly defined measurable indicators built into E.S.L.R.’s to help us determine how well we are doing as a school and also to keep school wide efforts focused on accomplishing a specific mission in education. The E.S.L.R.’s at Glacier High School make up the acronym ACTS. They are listed below for your reflection.
