Gannett Peak staff had a blast today with an unexpected 1980s/1990s "JCPenney Awkward Family Photo" contest. The teachers went all in, and the results were, well... incredibly awkward! We'll save the teachers from public awkwardness and instead recognize the 5 teams who won unique awards in the competition with photos from the awards ceremony only. It's safe to say we're ready for a lot of fun at GPE this year!

We kicked off our Paraprofessional Training with a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt to build district community!
It was a fun way to start the day and a great reminder of the teamwork and energy our paras bring to our schools. We truly appreciate the dedication and care they show our students each and every day!

The Wyoming Department of Education is collecting informal public input on the 2025 Wyoming Standards for English Language Arts (ELA) at the request of the State Board of Education (SBE). The collected input will be shared with the SBE.
The proposed 2025 ELA Standards are designed to support strong reading, writing, speaking, and vocabulary skills from early learning through high school. The standards are now organized into four clear areas, or domains:
Reading: Combines literature and informational text into one domain, helping students build skills across all types of texts, with increasing depth and complexity as they grow.
Writing: Begins with basic skills like handwriting and sentence-building in the early grades, then expands into writing strong arguments, stories, and research-based pieces as students move up.
Speaking & Listening: Encourages respectful, thoughtful conversations about ideas and texts, helping students learn how to communicate clearly and work with others.
Vocabulary Acquisition & Use: Focuses on building strong word knowledge, which research shows is key to reading comprehension and helping students express themselves well.
Please attend a regional Public Input Session here in Lander.
September 17: 4–5:30 p.m. at the Fremont County School District #1 Central Office.
This meeting will start with a 10-minute presentation on the standards review process, the review timeline, and a question-and-answer session. The remainder of the session is dedicated to collecting public input.
