Valley Schools - Making the Grade
At
Chippewa Valley continuous school improvement is a priority.
Curriculum councils and school improvement teams, composed
of teachers and administrators, continuously work to update
teaching strategies and keep our curriculum aligned with the state
benchmarks.

Valley Schools has twelve elementary schools, four middle schools,
two 9th Grade Freshman Centers in the process of being built, and

school improvement process.

Providing
the best in educational facilities, technology
The
Chippewa Valley Schools community takes pride in its top-notch
facilities and outstanding educational programs.
This is evident in the high level of parent involvement and
community support the district receives from its residents.
In
December of 2004, voters overwhelmingly approved a $168 million
dollar Bond Proposal to build a new elementary school, a new
middle school, and two 9th Grade Freshman Centers on
each high school campus, as well as adding classrooms on two
existing middle schools.
In February of 2001,
voters approved a $104 million dollar Bond Proposal to build a new
elementary school, add classrooms at Fox and Mohawk Elementary
Schools, remodel older school buildings, add a new pool at
Chippewa Valley High School, a football stadium at Dakota High
School, and more than $24 million for instructional technology.
In 1997, voters approved an $83.4 million Bond Issue to
build Cheyenne Elementary School, improve existing buildings, and
provide $18 million for the implementation of technology.
As a result of these bond improvements we offer a 4-to-1
student/ computer ratio and all of our schools enjoy state-of-the
art media centers, wireless laptop stations, computer labs and
distance-learning labs. A
wide area network (WAN) provides communication between school
buildings and students and teachers have access to the Internet.
