Our next round of conferences are November 6th and 7th. The 6th will be after school and in-person. The 7th is a chance for families to conference with us, virtually. 

Be on the lookout for additional information coming soon. We’d love to see you!

Please join us in celebrating our “You’re out of this world!” staff recipient: Melody Snyder! 

Ms. Snyder continues to go to infinity and beyond to ensure all of our Valley View community is welcomed. She is a rockstar Band Director and does whatever it takes to center humanity while simultaneously getting strong performance out of our young Hornets. 

She received our “Buzz the alien Hornet” seen in the picture. Buzz will travel with Ms. Snyder for a week, and she’ll take photos and share with our community. 

Join us in our praise for Ms. Snyder!

We encourage our families and caregivers to stay dialed into their student’s social media usage. We have had some petty conflicts and we think we can prevent some of this with partnership. 

We believe a combination of families and school staff working harmoniously to coach up our scholars around what they put out there, is the best way to deter students from potential conflict. 

No shaming, no blaming, but education. Good practice is to share facts and relevant examples around the vulnerability and risks that a student might open themselves up to when posting. 

HERE is an article with some good tips including a link to the American Academy of Pediatrics platform for creating a family social media plan. 

Thanks for staying unified with us in the effort to build digitally responsible citizens.

A little bit about the play:

A Midwest Premiere! In 1897 New York City, Lucy and Louise Bullard are trying their best to live a quiet life, untouched by the legacy of their father Adam Worth, an internationally infamous conman and art thief whose exploits inspired the character of Moriarty in the Sherlock Holmes stories. However, upon discovering that their father has a third daughter, kept in the care of their aunt, and that the aunt in question has just been falsely accused of an elaborate crime, the girls cannot help but be drawn into the mystery. Add in their nosy landlady, her snarky, sneaky daughter, and the local chapter of the Sherlock Holmes Appreciation Society, and it’s a recipe for problems, plots, and escapades more convoluted than anything Arthur Conan Doyle could conjure!
