Volunteer Opportunities
Lunch and Hall Monitors (Ongoing)

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

We loved having our VVMS parents volunteer during passing times and at lunch last year! 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.

Parking for Parent Visitors

Parents and caregivers, if you are visiting Valley View please check in at the front desk and a clipboard will be provided for you to enter your vehicle information. This will prevent any boots or ticketing.

Thank You!

PTO News
Support the PTO!

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

PTO Family Contributions are $75 per family and they grant you access to the school directory and help provide much needed funding to support programs, teachers, and staff at our school.

What are Family Contributions used for?

  • They support student programs
  • They help us show appreciation to our teachers and staff
  • They are the only source of funding for the PTO (that’s right, nothing to sell or additional fundraisings throughout the year!) 

** If you require a SCHOLARSHIP please enter code CONTRIBUTIONS2025 at checkout ** 

Thank you for your support!

Thank you to our current Booster donors!
