Welcome to the Deer Creek Grove
Valley Website. We are excited to begin our third year
in the Deer Creek School District. This will be a banner
year for Grove Valley as we just received the National
Pride in America School Award. I recently traveled to
Washington, D.C. to accept this prestigious award for
our school. This will be our second year to implement a
technology grant from OETT. The school purchased a
broadcast technology communication center, digital
cameras for teacher, mobile laptops, and flip video
recorders for classrooms. Grove Valley was also named a
Great Expectation’s Model School for the second year in
a row. You will find more information about the tenets
and practices of GE on the website. We are very proud
of our accomplishments.
We as a school hope the website
provides you with the information you need about the
newest elementary school in the Deer Creek School
District. Please read about our outstanding teachers,
staff, parents, and students.
Strong academics is a priority in
the Deer Creek School District. We follow the state
PASS and district guidelines for all students. Our
programs are exciting and enriched with challenging and
rewarding activities. We will strive to meet the
intellectual, social, and emotional aspects of each
child’s growth and development while they are at Grove
Valley Elementary.
Join everyone as Deer Creek Grove
Valley continues their adventure as the newest school in
the district. The theme for our school is “Deer Creek
Grove Valley Discovers the World.”
Sincerely,
Debbie Straughn
Principal
Grove Valley
Elementary is dedicated to cultivating lifelong learners
by building a solid educational foundation with high
expectations for students and teachers. We will
partner with parents to promote critical thinking
skills, problem-solving, and a lifestyle of integrity as
we strive to meet the needs of each individual student.
