New Principal & Assistant Principal

Good morning GJE Friends & Families.

It is my pleasure to officially announce the new principal and assistant principal for next school year. Ms. Whitney Spiehler is going to take my position as principal, and Mr. Russ Relic (currently at BRHS) is going to step in as the assistant principal. Many of you already know Ms. Spiehler as she's worked with me for the past two years. I am thrilled to have these two strong individuals step in, and excited for all of you to get to know them. They are kind, calm, and level-headed, always keeping the best interests of our staff and students in mind—and they will do the same for our GJE families.

When you come into the building, please take a moment to congratulate Ms. Spiehler on her upcoming assignment. Next year is shaping up to be the best yet at Gladys Elementary!

Quyana,
Ms. Atan

Recently the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development (DEED) released the 2024-2025 Report Cards to the Public for each school district and school in Alaska. These Report Cards present information about performance for the 2024-2025 school year. During this first administration of The Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR) assessment, students in grades 3-9 were assessed in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Students in grades 5, 8, and 10 took the Alaska Science Assessment.

To view a 2024-2025 School or District Report Card to the Public, go to https://education.alaska.gov/compass/report-card. Once there, you will be able to select which School or District Report Card to the Public you wish to view. This user-friendly website aims to provide families with clear, common information about all public schools and districts in our State. These Report Cards to the public contain data and information about academics, school environment, teacher quality, and more. If you are unable to access the Report Card to the Public online, please contact your student’s school.
