Once there, you also hav the option of clicking on links to the above resources, as well as other educational sites, including the local public libraries. Students with Pickaway County library cards can link to many valuable resources to help with homework.
In June, the elementary schools will be hosting award winning illustrators Christopher and Jeanette Canyon. Christopher has visited the Teays Valley district several times in the past and is a great favorite. This will be Jeanette's first time to visit the elementaries, and we are very excited.
