Curriculum
The mission of the Curriculum Department is to increase student achievement through the provision of systemic innovative curricula characterized by standards and research-based educational programs that deliver effective and differentiated instruction in partnership with schools, families, and the PVSchools community.
In PVSchools, we engage, inspire, and nurture students through high-quality instruction, meaningful educational opportunities, and dynamic learning experiences. Curriculum, adhering to Arizona state standards, is adopted transparently with opportunities for community feedback.
Curriculum Adoptions
To nurture creativity, curiosity, and strategic thinking through dynamic learning experiences, PVSchools routinely evaluates curriculum resources and provides recommendations for curriculum adoptions.
Your child's AASA (Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment) are distributed after the start of school in August.
If parents of grades 3-6 would like their student results early, a copy will be available for parent pick-up in mid-June at the Paradise Valley Unified School District office located at 15002 N. 32nd Street, Monday through Thursday, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Please call the Assessment Department at (602) 449-2016 in advance, so staff can locate your student's copy. You will need identification verifying your relationship to the student.
