School Enrichment Grants
One of the biggest initiatives of our PTO is grants submitted by GCMS staff for school enrichment opportunities not funded by the school or district. Grants can be submitted by any staff member. We look for grants that serve large groups of students or staff members and that enrich the experience of the school day.
​
Staff members are asked to submit grant requests via our Request FORM. The PTO Board members discuss and decide upon grant requests at monthly meetings.
​
If you are interested in donating specifically to initiatives like these at GCMS, please go to our School Enrichment Grant Funding 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.
