Platte Valley Success Skills

We are excited to share with our parents and community our Success Skills Initiative, aimed at teaching our students key skills in the classroom. The four key skills we want our students to all learn throughout their time at Platte Valley is how to be a resilient learner, effective communicator, constructive teammate and creative problem solver. From kindergarten to their senior year, our students will learn about what each skill means and use these skills in the classroom.
