Stone Valley MS Wins 2017 CA Gold Ribbon School Award

From San Ramon Valley School District: Stone Valley Middle School in Danville is being recognized as one of the California Gold Ribbon Schools for 2017. The award reflects the school’s success in creating a positive learning atmosphere for the students. Such success is a direct result of the dedicated, creative, and talented staff, and the supportive school community. Stone Valley Middle School joins the other seven SRVUSD middle schools in this honor.

“We are honored to receive the 2017 Gold Ribbon Award. Our school is committed to ensuring that all students learn at high levels and the Gold Ribbon award highlights the work of our Response to Intervention program that provides additional time those that need it. Stone Valley is comprised of a distinguished and talented teaching staff that provides a 21st Century Learning environment where excellence occurs on a daily basis. We are pleased that the Stone Valley Community has been recognized and celebrated,” says Stone Valley Principal Jon Campopiano.

The Gold Ribbon Awards recognize California schools that have made gains in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education. These include the California Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics, California English Language Development Standards, and Next Generation Science Standards.

Schools applied for the award based on a model program or practice their school has adopted that includes standards-based activities, projects, strategies, and practices that can be replicated by other local educational agencies. The award acknowledged elementary schools last year.

A total of 275 middle schools and high schools are being honored under the Gold Ribbon Schools Awards Program this year. Stone Valley Middle School will be honored in Santa Clara at the 2017 Gold Ribbon Schools regional ceremony in May.
