West Valley School District offers a number of programs to help children and families find the tools they need to succeed.
State and Federal Programs
The Learning Assistance Program
The Learning Assistance Program (LAP) is Washington's state funded program that provides additional academic support to eligible students. LAP funds are available to support programs in grades K-12 in reading, writing, and mathematics, and readiness for those subjects. First priority must be given to reading in grades K-4.
West Valley School District allocates funds to all six elementary schools for LAP reading services in grades K-4. Please refer to our staff directory for a full list of our LAP Reading Intervention (RTI) staff.
