Golden Valley USD Distance Learning Resources
Distance Learning can be tough for students, teachers, and especially parents. We at Golden Valley know this can impact how our students succeed and want to do everything we can to help you stay on track. It is very important that students continue to learn on a daily basis, reading for 30 minutes a day and spend time practicing their math skills even when we are not grading it.
On this webpage you will be able to find all of the resources that we have available. Our Teachers have done an amazing job of staying in communication and putting together a lot of school work to keep the students learning. You will be able to find a digital copy of this classwork below.
We at GVUSD use Clever as a portal for our students to access many more resources online, your students Clever account is linked to their Google email account and can be accessed by clicking this link (or visiting clever.com) If you student doesn't remember their google email username or password please contact their teacher for help. You can find your teachers email address by visiting www.gvusd.org clicking on "Schools" and selecting the school, and than using the "Staff" link on the main page.
