Washington State School Report Card
for Ten Mile Creek Elementary is available here.
On a Good Note
The
Western Washington University Mentorship Initative is a pilot program
implemented by House Bill 1986, which passed both Houses of the
legislature on April 21,2009. The program is designed to increase
access to higher education by providing an opportunity for 5th grade
students in Whatcom and Skagit counties to be mentored by university
students.
The program has the following objectives:
- Increase GPA and reduce truancy among elementary students.
- Empower kids to make good choices about the future.
- Increase university student's leadership and commitment to giving back to their community
Our overall goal is to
help more students graduate from high school and encourage them to
consider some form of higher education.
