On behalf of the Valley View Middle School PTO, we want to welcome you to the 2023/2024 school year! We are incredibly excited and energized to work with Principal Bass and the full administration to bring a new level of fun and engagement to the school year! 

We are looking forward to supporting the staff and students in innovative ways and bring a new level of communication to families. Be on the look out for new volunteer opportunities, weekly updates via our newsletter the Valley View Vibe, and more! 

I am beyond grateful to have a HUGE PTO Board chalked full of enormous talent this year. We are all motivated to provide support to the staff and families at Valley View, so the staff and teachers can provide a welcoming and inclusive environment to our students. 

It’s going to be a great year, we can feel it…cheers to 2023/2024!

Here is a reminder of the pick up / drop off guidelines for Valley View Middle School.

Please be respectful of others and follow these protocols for a smooth car line experience.

What a way to start the year! The PTO was excited to be invited to Workshop week for the teachers & staff at Valley View. The vibe was electric with all of the teachers & staff excited to start a new year of learning! 

Thanks to all those that signed up to donate a salad! The teachers and staff were thrilled with this addition to their lunch and the PTO was able to add some flair to add to the festive atmosphere. Everyone also got an opportunity to be introduced and welcome the newest staff members to VVMS and to top everything off...we got to hear a rap from our very own Principal Bass (Fun fact: He originally wanted to be a rapper when he grew up!). 

We can't wait for a fun and excited year with this new crew! 

Check back for new opportunities that will be posted soon!
