Welcome to Teaching & Learning!
Every child benefits from a quality, comprehensive education rooted in reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies. Additional knowledge of technology; enhanced physical and social development and exposure to the fine arts capstone the intellectual development of all of us.
In Huron Valley Schools we place the highest priority on having standards developed in each of these areas. These standards allow us to measure the progress of our students and the effectiveness of our curriculum and instruction.
Our district goal is for each and every student to have the necessary skills, knowledge and attributes necessary to lead a successful life. We trust that this information will prepare you to assist us in that endeavor.
Assessment Calendars
The District Improvement Plan (DIP) has been designed to provide schools and districts with a common planning template that addresses student learning and system needs that have been identified through the schools' Comprehensive Needs Assessment.
The district uses a formal strategic planning process to support and develop our institution's improvement plan. Stakeholders are gathered from several representative groups including staff, parents, students, municipal leaders as well as community members.
For more information about the District & School Improvement Planning, contact Sue Baldwin, Director of State & Federal Programs.
Curriculum Handbooks K-5
Dear Parents and Caregivers:
Every child benefits from a quality, comprehensive education rooted in Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Additional knowledge of technology, enhanced physical and social development along with exposure to the fine arts capstone the intellectual development of all of us.
In Huron Valley Schools, we place the highest priority on having standards developed in each of these areas. These standards allow us to measure the progress of our students and the effectiveness of our curriculum and instruction.
The purpose of these handbooks are to provide parents with information about curriculum and student expectations.
For parents, an important component of this guide is the "You can help by..." section. We believe that a strong partnership between parent and teacher can best affect the academic performances of your child. Showing your interest and positive involvement in school will increase the likelihood of your child having a successful school experience.
Our district goal is for each and every student to have the necessary skills, knowledge and attributes necessary to lead a successful life. We trust that this information will prepare you to assist us in that endeavor.
Have a wonderful school year.
