Thank you to all Slate Valley faculty and staff - You are truly the heart and soul of our district!

MEET Faculty & Staff MONDAY:
This month, we’re excited to feature Jared Danyow!
Jared is currently in his fifth year working in the Slate Valley Unified Union School District, all at Fair HavenGrade School (FHGS), and has spent ten years in public education overall.
Before joining Slate Valley, Jaredworked in several Vermont schools, including in the Rutland Northeast and Mount Abraham Unified School Districts, serving as a teacher, behavior interventionist, and paraeducator.
Starting next school year, Jared will be stepping into a new role as the principal of Castleton ElementarySchool!
Outside of school, Jared enjoys a wide variety of activities. He loves listening to music and attending concerts, running and competing in races, playing golf, hiking, reading good books, traveling to new places, and trying new foods. He also enjoys spending time with his golden retriever, Magnolia, and his orange cat, Winston.
We wish Jared all the best next year in his new Principal position!

A message from student athletes, please watch...
This video was produced by Mount Mansfield Media and sponsored by the Vermont Principals’ Association (VPA), it captures the perspectives of Vermont high school athletes on adult behavior at sporting events. Through their eyes, viewers are reminded of the importance of civility, encouragement, and respect — and the need to move away from criticism, hostility, and vulgar outbursts.
