Latino Network’s Escalera helps students develop skills to break down barriers they encounter to achieve personal and academic success. Escalera is for Juniors and Seniors who could benefit from extra support in a variety of areas. The program focuses on college and post high school panning with an emphasis on cultural and social-emotional support. Services include one on one case management through mentorship, weekly after school group sessions, and working with families to fully support students directly or by providing referrals to promote home-life stability.

Most students in Reynolds School District are returning on Wednesday to campuses that are newly improved since school ended last year. District Superintendent, Linda Florence, expressed that she was “so pleased to welcome students across the District back to safer and more secure schools thanks to funding from the bond measure.”
School improvements include:
Ten schools have new, more secure entryways, exterior locking doors, and cameras. Two other schools received similar security improvements over the summer of 2016.
Students at Fairview, Troutdale, Wilkes and RHS return to big changes, as new elementary schools are under construction and major renovations continue at the high school.
In addition to the bond-funded improvements, many schools received improvements such as seismic upgrades, new kitchen coolers, driveway and playground upgrades, paid for by annual District funding.
