Golden Valley Elementary School is located in the northern part of Tulare County, in the small agricultural community of Orosi.

Golden Valley Elementary currently serves approximately 660 TK-5 students and their families. A preschool is also located on our campus. We are excited to offer an on-site dual immersion program. The addition of this program provides parents with the option of enrolling their child in a Dual Immersion class in grades TK-5th grade. The majority of students live within walking distance of the school. The student population is primarily Hispanic (approx. 95%). Approximately 44% of the students are English Language Learners. Golden Valley Elementary School believes in empowering all students to be college and career-ready scholars, critical thinkers, powerful communicators, creative and quality producers, leaders, and productive citizens. Our educational team is committed to “Educate Minds and Inspire Futures” in a safe and supportive environment. It is our school vision to promote and foster great learning opportunities and experiences for all students and enhance current best practices to continue our pursuit of making MAGIC happen at Golden Valley. We are committed to working together and building collective efficacy to support and enhance student learning. We are also committed to providing ALL students with opportunities to excel and grow academically while ensuring all students are afforded opportunities to grow leadership skills, build critical thinking skills, and learn to be productive citizens who are prepared to compete in a global economy. The Golden Valley staff is excited to serve all of our families, it is our mission to build strong home-school connections. Students who feel connected, and who build strong relationships with staff, are most likely to grow leaps and bounds.

Making #MAGIC happen every day consists of these 5 components:

M - Make Learning Visible. Learning you can see and hear

A - Analysis and Action - Data-Driven Instruction

G - Graduate Outcomes - Preparing students for College/Career/Community

I - Instruction - GIFT - Great Instruction - Know the Impact: Everything we do or don't do has an impact on learning.

C- Collective Efficacy - A staff’s shared belief that through their collective action they can positively influence student outcomes If you believe it, you will see it.

Graduate Outcomes

Golden Valley staff will continue to support students in attaining proficiency in the Six Graduate Outcomes. Preparing students early on for college, career, and beyond is our fundamental goal. Teaching and instilling in our students the importance of leadership skills, and the power of being a powerful communicator, critical thinker, and ethical decision-maker is a top priority. Not only will we work to ensure that all students are academically excelling and producing quality work, but they will ultimately be productive citizens and contributing members of our society.

Dual Immersion

We are excited to provide our families opportunities to enroll students in our Dual Immersion program beginning in Transitional Kindergarten. Over the past several years we have been growing our program with the ultimate goal of having Dual Immersion represented in all of our TK-5th grade levels. Students are demonstrating proficiency in English and Spanish through the four domains of language

- Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. We are excited to see our students grow as it is our goal to provide our students with the best teachings so that they may move on to the secondary level and receive the State Seal of Biliteracy (SSB), marked by a gold seal on the diploma or transcript, which recognizes high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages in addition to English.
