Title One
Title One is a federally-funded program that helps meet the needs of students who need the
most support to achieve academic success. PAVCS structures the Title I program in an
innovative way. Students are paired with a Title I teacher and participate in synchronous
supplemental sessions in Reading and/or Math.. Title I teachers reinforce concepts through
synchronous, real-time interaction.
Step-Up Program
The Step-Up Program offers small group instruction to provide services and support to improve
educational opportunities for students with academic gaps. Step-Up helps children meet state
content and performance standards in reading, language arts, and mathematics. Step-Up assists
every child to become successful and to support every parent in this process, through our
commitment to academic excellence.
Supporting Our Advanced learners to Reach their potential (SOAR) Program
The SOAR program provides academic and social support and identifies resources to help PAVCS’
advanced learners in Grades 3-10 reach their full intellectual and social potential. SOAR develops
training for teachers, parents, and academic coaches to support the needs of advanced learners,
and offers opportunities for advanced learners to interact and socialize with their peers. Students
are identified through test scores, advanced grade level placement, previous identification
as “gifted,” teacher recommendations, motivation, and the interest profile.
Co-curricular Learning
PAVCS believes that co-curricular learning and promoting student interests are vital to a
comprehensive education. We support our community by developing activities that enhance and
enrich all students’ educational experiences and further develop their academics, creativity,
and social skills through an atmosphere of fun and learning.
Guidance Counselors
Guidance Counselors will provide social, academic, and career advisement while helping families
with time management, family crisis, and unmotivated children.
