You’re invited to join us for our VVMS Curriculum Night! 

When: Thursday, September 7^th from 5:00 pm – 7:15 pm

This evening is NOT designed to be an Open House, please plan to attend the entire evening in order to see all teachers. 

We will follow THIS SCHEDULE. 

What: 

• Walk your student’s schedule to get a snapshot of their day.
• Meet their teachers & learn about the curriculum for each class
• Hear about class and grade level expectations 
• Learn how to best support your student’s learning throughout the year

Additional Information:

• You will need access to your student’s schedule during the evening.  You can also print and fill out the Curriculum Night Form (below) to help navigate evening.
• Can’t make it to Curriculum Night?  No worries…you can access all of the information by watching THESE SCREENCASTS from each of your student’s teachers.

*This event is for parents and caregivers, students are welcome to attend but they should have at least one parent/caregiver with them.

We encourage our young Hornets to stay hydrated! The safest containers are those made of plastic or metal. Glass containers are dangerous and can lead to safety hazards.

We have a spectacular maintenance and custodial crew, so we respond swiftly but it's very important to send our students to school with durable, safe products. 

Reach out if you need help finding something that aligns with our guidance!

Last Friday the PTO treated the Valley View staff and teachers to a luncheon of sandwiches, salads, treats, and more.

Everyone stopped by in between meetings and prepping to enjoy a treat. All made possible through your support and contributions to the PTO.

Thank you!!
