  • Title I

    DeVaney Elementary has proudly maintained Schoolwide Title I status since 2001. As a Schoolwide Title I school, all students have access to the additional resources and support provided through the federally funded Title I program.

    Title I funding enhances classroom instruction by providing supplemental instructional resources and services that are closely aligned with our core curriculum. Our goal is to ensure high levels of learning for every student while providing additional support for students who need it most to meet Indiana’s academic standards.

    Our two Title I teachers serve as instructional coaches, partnering with classroom teachers through instructional cycles to strengthen teaching and learning. They support the implementation of effective instructional practices, analyze student data, and collaborate with teachers to improve student outcomes. In addition, our Title I teachers provide targeted small-group interventions to help students build essential skills and achieve academic success.

    Through our Schoolwide Title I program, we are committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

    Our Past

    Adelaide DeVaney Elementary School was established during the 1977- 1978 school year and officially opened its doors in 1979. The school was created through the consolidation of Thornton and Montrose Schools, bringing together the students, families, and traditions of both communities.
     
    Our school is proudly named in honor of Ms. Adelaide DeVaney, who served as principal and educator at Thornton School from 1919 to 1960. Her dedication to students and commitment to education continue to inspire our school community today. 
     
    From its opening until the 19992000 school year, DeVaney's mascot was the Athenians. Following a staff vote to adopt a more modern identity, the DeVaney Dragons were borna mascot that has proudly represented our school ever since.

Please follow the directions of staff members directing traffic before and after school.  Cars are expected to pull up along the curb as far as possible.  By pulling up, we can get more cars into our drives and decrease heavy traffic on Brown and College Avenue.  Guardians must also keep their cars running and remain in their cars.
Also, students should be ready to get out once the car stops. Safety first!
