An Overview of the Pleasant Valley Educational Program

Student Learning

To ensure daily success for every student, the Pleasant Valley School District focuses on teaching and learning that provides our students with a well-rounded and comprehensive education. All curricular areas use state and nationally recognized standards to ensure the development and implementation of rigorous programs of study for students in kindergarten through twelfth grades.

Curriculum Renewal

PVSD reviews all academic and elective programming on a cyclical basis to ensure applicability to student needs as well as standards alignment. The renewal process specific to a content area occurs formally every five years or sooner dependent upon revisions to and requirements of academic standards at the local, state or national level.

The purpose of the curriculum renewal process is to identify the strengths and needs of a curricular area so that the district can respond accurately and appropriately in ways that improve and/or enhance learning experiences and prepare our students for college and career in all instructed content areas. For general information about state standards, please go to the Pennsylvania Standards Aligned System and search under the standards tab. You will be able to search by subject area and grade level.

Teacher Learning

The Pleasant Valley School District is dedicated to the provision of ongoing staff development to support the continual growth and development of our staff helping all students succeed. Each year, a Professional Development Plan is crafted to provide a myriad of opportunities to increase the understanding of best practices and incorporation of 21st century instructional tools and resources.
