NETS FOR STUDENTS:
NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS
Beginning with the Class of 2015, all students must demonstrate proficiency in the six NETS graduation requirements.
The first four standards are integrated into the curriculum throughout classes at Golden Valley. The fifth and sixth standards are tested starting in the 9th grade year with follow up (and retesting as needed) in subsequent years to help ensure each student meets all six graduation standard requirements.
