School Enrichment Grants
The GC PTO welcomes GC Staff members to apply for our school enrichment grants as a way to offer our students experiences or supplies that enhance their school experience. These grants are offered for expenses outside of regular district funding. Grants can be submitted by any staff member. Once the Playground Project is complete, the majority of PTO funds will go toward Enrichment Grants to benefit our students.
For the 2026-2027 school year, we have shifted from an open-ended request basis to a structured Grant Cycle. The Fall Grant Cycle is open to Staff members from Monday, October 5th - Friday, October 23rd. The PTO is offering $7,500 in grant award money for the Fall 2026 cycle. Award winners will be announced the first week in November.
If you are interested in donating specifically to initiatives like these at GCMS, please go to our PTO General Fund Donations Page.

Glacier Creek Spiritwear for Staff Mentors and Student Graduates of the Check-In Check-Out Program
The Check-In Check-Out program is one of Glacier Creek's SEL (Social Emotional Learning) programs. It provides students with additional daily check-ins with an adult in the building, extra positive reinforcement throughout their day, and more communication with their parent(s)/guardian(s) around how they are doing behaviorally and academically in the building. It helps teach students skills for them to find success in and out of the classroom. In order for this program to be successful, we ask for staff volunteers to be mentors for students - giving their time before and after school to provide students with additional check-ins, daily goal setting, and end-of-day debriefing. If students graduate from the Check-In Check-Out program they are also able to choose a shirt or hat as well to reinforce the positive behavior we are seeing from them at school.
Grants Awarded in 2023-2024

We hope to see this program flourish now and for many years to come.
