Education/Curriculum
Principal
Tri-Valley Local Schools provide comprehensive, instructional, curricular, and assessment programs to serve the educational needs of all students. District and building goals demonstrate a strong commitment to improving student achievement and ensure all students are college and career ready.
Teachers and administration are working together to align the curriculum, instructional resources, and teaching methods/strategies to the Ohio New Learning Standards. Copies of the standards are available on-line at http://www.ode.state.oh.us and click on Academic Content Standards or by request at the district and school building offices. Tri-Valley Local Schools provide educational resources and programs that focus on increased student achievement. Visit the district and building webpages to access a variety of resources and programs that support and strengthen students' academic success.
Title I is a federally funded program designed to ensure that all children have an opportunity to access a high quality education. The purpose of the Title I program is to provide additional opportunities and resources to acquire the skills outlined in the Ohio New Learning Standards that all students are expected to meet. Title I eligible buildings are determined by federal requirements regarding percentage of low-income children. To receive Title I funding, each school district must submit a local improvement plan each year. On-site reviews are conducted regularly by the state to monitor the success of a school district’s Title program. Title I services include additional instruction/small group tutoring, with highly qualified teaching staff, beyond what is taught with the regular classroom instruction to ensure that all students will achieve success. Title I programs are offered at Dresden Elementary, Frazeysburg Elementary, and Adamsville Elementary. Parent involvement is a key component for the success of the Title I Reading program. Parent involvement opportunities include: Annual Title I parent meeting, School-Family Compact, District and Building Parental Involvement Policy, district/building newsletters, parent-teacher conferences, family nights, volunteer programs, and other building-specific activities. For further information on parent resources and academic information, visit www.pta.org/parents.
