Pleasant Valley Staff Newsletter
Week of January 27, 2020
Our mission is to empower and inspire a community of lifelong learners and leaders.
Our District Goals
*1. We will improve student achievement.
2. We will increase our transparency throughout our communities.
3. We will practice fiscal responsibility.
*Student Achievement is now the district's number one goal, as it should be, thanks to a collective effort and Sean Nuccio, our district's Treasurer, for the work done to remove us from the fiscal caution status which no longer requires the ODE to closely oversee the district's finances.
