District music teachers coordinate the fourth and fifth grade band program. The Club employs a director, an assistant director, and 6 aides. The District's Environmental Education Program, including Indian Days, Pioneer Days, and Rancho Days for fourth and fifth graders, is conducted on the Indian Valley School grounds taking advantage of the unique setting highlighted by the Open Space. In addition, Indian Valley fourth graders explore the Sierras at Calaveras Big Trees as part of their environmental studies, and their fifth grade friends spend a week at Walker Ranch near Point Reyes learning about environmental science. Our belief at Indian Valley is that school should be a place where children are valued.
Every person is respected, supported, and safe.
Children experience success and feel good about learning. The diversity of our community is valued as staff work in partnership with the community to reach our educational goals. This program enables the school to fund additional staff development activities as well as purchase classroom supplies and media equipment. Parents generously volunteer their time while striving endlessly to support the school's educational environment. The implementation of standards and benchmarks aligned with clearly defined assessment systems, drive the curriculum.
