Calling all parents and caregivers that volunteered or contributed to our Valley View VIBE this year! 

Please come in and be celebrated by our VVMS team for our support. We want to love ya up! We’re serving a breakfast for you on 5/24/24 from 8:15am – 9am. Please consider stopping in!

Please send us a quick RSVP by filling out this form just so we know how many amazing people will be joining us!

STRIVE program and our Unified section went to Basecamp! Check out the fun pictures from our inclusion efforts and the blended staff/student contribution to deliver on an amazing experience.

In recognition of Rome's birthday, April 21, 753 B.C., the Edina High School Latin Club sponsors the "Latin Surprise" every year. On Sunday, April 14th, Latin students from all three schools gathered at the high school and loaded onto a bus. 

23 students from Valley View participated. Our first stop was Burnsville Skateville and after skating for two hours, the group went to its second stop —Bloomington Scoops Ice Cream Shop. This Latin Surprise did not disappoint!

Come see what the fuss is all about, our kids are great and you make a difference!

We have loved having our VVMS parents volunteer during passing times and at lunch! Please, please please, keep coming in and volunteering to supervise. 

We are offering work spaces for those who want to come during our passing time. This allows our parents to supervise halls during transition time but then hop back into an office to work. We're happy to accommodate!

For reference, here is the VV Daily Schedule.

Thank you!!

Working with middle school requires the right temperament. We mostly just need you to be smiley, and cheerful. We avoid practices that involve screaming or yelling. We prefer softer approaches that are kind but firm. Individuals volunteering are able to suspend bias and judgment and can offer support for all students. If you think this is you? Please help us in adding a greater eco-system like approach to how we guide and shepherd our young Hornets.

We are looking to shower our teachers with thanks during Teacher Appreciation Week. We're asking for gift cards to use in Mystery Bags for our teachers! We would appreciate gift cards to any of your favorite stores in $10- $20 amounts. If you would prefer, we are also collecting money to purchase gift cards. 

Please send any gift cards or money to school with your child and have them drop them in the office by Friday, May 3rd! Thank you!!

The VVMS PTO does not hold any other fundraisers throughout the year, this is your chance to support our school!

Can you help us get there with a dues payment or consider an additional donation?

THANK YOU!!
