INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS

The goal of the Steel Valley School District is to provide a safe and inclusive environment in which our students have the resources to receive a quality education in the pursuit of their dreams. Steel Valley is also working to forge stronger connections with our local communities so that our schools are the preferred choice for all residents. We aim to help connect families with those resources whenever they are in need, as well as continue to provide access to the tools students and families need to navigate each school year.

This page includes a wide range of initial information about our district, including resources to help families navigate food insecurity, mental health needs, community providers, and much more.

You can use the links to the left throughout this section to navigate to other important resources and information.
