Equitable Support for Students
At Gladden, we believe each child can succeed. In order to accomplish this, we offer various programs that meet students at their academic and behavioral level.
Free Full-day Kindergarten
Now enrolling for free full-day kindergarten offering a strong focus on cognitive, social, and emotional learning development.
Collaborative Learning
Aligned with the District’s Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) instructional model is the critical need to provide learning environments which engage students in collaborative and productive work.
Buddy Classes
Having older and younger students interact in positive ways is especially important in a K-6 environment. Buddy classes meet monthly and connect through fun activities and games.
