Submitted by the San Juan Island School District

San Juan Island School District announces the opening of the “Open Doors Program.” This student re-engagement program will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

The “Open Doors Program” is a student re-engagement system that provides education and services to older youth, ages 16-21, who have dropped out of school or are not expected to graduate from high school by the age of 21.

Open Doors re-engages disconnected youth through programs that encourage community partnerships, create multiple pathways for students to realize success and provide an on-ramp to post-secondary achievement through a performance-based, individualized support model.

Griffin Bay’s open doors students will be able to work on completing their high school diploma or work toward a GED.

Prospective students should contact Griffin Bay School office manager, Connie Domenech at 360-378-3292.
