区任务

To ensure that all students are educated, self-directed and productive members of society

职业生涯的学习

Strengthening our schools strengthens our future workforce, helping develop talent in our district. The students and staff in 大急流城公立学校 are grateful to our voters for approving the 强大的学校，强大的社区 millage which we are putting to good use for students. Some of the areas we emphasize include helping students consider and connect with possible careers. 

We do this by building the skills expected in the workplace and teaching about options for after graduation including college, 技术培训或直接进入劳动力市场. We offer career and technical coursework programming options throughout our high schools. Innovation Central High School offers career exploration opportunities through each of its four career pathways, 商业学院, 领导力与企业家精神, 建筑设计研究院, 现代工程院, 以及健康科学研究院. 除了, we have begun planning for a second career pathways school which will be housed at Ottawa Hills High School. 我们正在敲定渥太华山高中潜在的职业道路, 2017/2018年, we began our first phase of this work by creating an Early Middle College.

学术界及其他领域

强大的学术能力是所有K-12学习的基础, 从读写能力开始, 数学, 科学及社会研究. 除了这些领域, 我们让学生参加各种各样的课程，包括美术, 体育课。, JROTC, 还有各种各样的技术课.  我们也有主题学校，有不同的课程(蒙台梭利), 国际学士学位, 博物馆教育, 大学预科). 课后机会包括机器人(小学), middle and high school) to a full complement of interscholastic and intramural athletics.

对学生的支持

大多数学生在学习的某个阶段都需要一些帮助. 他们可能会在某一特定科目上遇到困难, 一项任务, 或者是对自己或家人的生活挑战. We work hard to support students so they succeed, including hiring the best staff to assist them. 除了, we utilize Title dollars to provide additional supports to students in low-income families including Youth Advocate Specialists, 咨询, and lab classes that support the Michigan Merit 课程 to help ensure students meet challenging academic standards.

儿童早期

幼儿期是儿童一生中至关重要的时期, a time when they engage in the world around them and learn all the basics they’ll use in school and beyond. Our preschoolers get to explore new concepts daily through hands-on activities with rich literacy and math learning materials integrated into the classroom’s interest areas.  孩子们整天都在“故意玩耍”. GRPS World-Class preschoolers also take their learning outdoors to do real-world learning thanks to our use of Creative 课程, 是什么让这些内容对幼儿具有高度的吸引力和相关性.
