Great Partners = Great Projects! Central to the design philosophy of Steel Valley School District's new Elementary School is the promotion of flexible instruction, encouraging student engagement beyond traditional classroom settings through small group activities and innovative teaching methodologies. Above all, importance is placed on providing students with a secure, nurturing, and inclusive environment advantageous to their academic and personal growth.
The Steel Valley School District is thrilled to announce the construction of a new elementary school that will bring the district’s elementary students together for the first time and unite the entire K-12 student body on one campus. The Steel Valley School District Board of Directors formally approved the motion to award the general construction contract to Pittsburgh-based Rycon Construction, Inc. during its board meeting on Thursday, June 20. The creation of this new school will be a historic achievement for the Steel Valley School District. Bringing together two elementary schools and having all students, kindergarten through 12th grade, learning on one campus, will transform how education is delivered within our district for decades to come. https://lnkd.in/gwQU22pj
