Our Commitment to 21st Century Learners

The Glendale-River Hills District is committed to improving the teaching and learning environment of teachers and students through the appropriate use of educational technologies and student information systems.

Technology Integration provides students with opportunities to enhance their learning experience by working to gather information, determine its relevance, and applying it to create a product that is relevant to them.

Teachers use electronic grade books, which in turn generate report cards--gone are the days of manual record keeping. They have access to resources and the Internet to assist them to collaboratively develop units and lesson plans that incorporates standards based learning and the use of technology.

As the world around us changes and information abounds, students and teachers alike must adapt and learn new strategies to accomplish their goals. The district is dedicated to supporting teaching staff through several professional development programs and information systems.
