Students and families will have the opportunity to sign up for the Choice Pass beginning the week of September 14th. GWSD and Choice Pass continue to strengthen our partnership and align our shared commitment to helping students make healthy choices.

The Choice Pass commitment and GWSD Activity and Sports Code of Conduct both ask students to remain drug- and alcohol-free. This year, we are working to further align communication and expectations between the two programs. As part of this partnership, violations of either program may be shared between Choice Pass and GWSD so we can better support students, connect them with caring adults, and reinforce clear expectations. Choice Pass and GWSD will each follow their established protocols when violations occur.

We are proud that 96% of students enrolled in Choice Pass upheld their commitment to remain substance-free last year. We appreciate the continued partnership of our students, families, and community in supporting healthy choices.
