Dear Valley View Families,

We want to make you aware of a situation that was reported to us regarding a student who, during a disagreement with a peer, made an inappropriate comment about bringing a weapon to school and suggested that others not attend the following day.

In accordance with our established safety protocols, the matter was immediately reported to the City of Phoenix Police for investigation. After a thorough review, it was determined that the comment did not pose a credible threat.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. We ask that you take a moment to remind your child about the importance of choosing their words carefully. Even remarks made out of frustration can cause unnecessary concern and will always be taken seriously. Counseling support is available upon request.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us maintain a safe and positive learning environment for all members of the Valley View community.

Sincerely,

Mr. Mitchell

Dear Eagle Families,

I am pleased to share that the HVAC units in our gymnasium have been repaired and are currently functioning as expected. At this time, we are closely monitoring the system to ensure that temperatures remain consistently regulated with the newly installed parts.

Once we are confident that the climate is stable, physical education classes will resume in the gym tomorrow, and all after-school activities will continue as scheduled.

We truly appreciate your patience and support as we worked through these challenges, and we are excited to welcome our students back into a safe and comfortable learning environment.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

Sincerely,
Mr. Mitchell
Principal
Valley View Leadership Academy

Queridas Familias Eagle,

Me complace compartir que las unidades de HVAC en nuestro gimnasio han sido reparadas y actualmente están funcionando como se espera. En este momento, estamos monitoreando de cerca el sistema para asegurar que las temperaturas se mantengan reguladas de manera constante con las piezas recientemente instaladas.

Una vez que confirmemos que el clima es estable, las clases de educación física se reanudarán en el gimnasio mañana, y todas las actividades después de la escuela continuarán según lo programado.

Agradecemos sinceramente su paciencia y apoyo mientras trabajábamos para superar estos desafíos, y estamos muy contentos de dar la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes de nuevo a un ambiente seguro y cómodo para aprender.

Gracias por su continua colaboración.

Good Evening Eagle Families,

I want to provide you with an update regarding the HVAC system in our gymnasium. Crews from both the district office and a contracted company have been working diligently throughout the day to improve the climate in the space. The parts that were previously on order arrived and have now been installed.
Unfortunately, the company has identified additional issues which will require another part. They were able to achieve a temporary solution, and we are monitoring to ensure that the cool temperature can be sustained.
Out of an abundance of caution, students will remain indoors in classrooms with a functioning AC until the final repairs are completed and we can confirm that cool temperatures are consistently maintained.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work toward a long-term solution.

Sincerely,
Mr. Mitchell
Principal
Valley View Leadership Academy
Buenas noches, familias de Eagle:

Quiero informarles sobre el sistema de climatización (HVAC) de nuestro gimnasio. Equipos de la oficina del distrito y de una empresa contratada han trabajado diligentemente durante todo el día para mejorar la climatización. Las piezas que se encargaron previamente llegaron y ya se han instalado.
Lamentablemente, la empresa ha identificado problemas adicionales que requerirán otra pieza. Se logró una solución temporal y estamos monitoreando el sistema para garantizar que se mantenga la temperatura fresca.
Como medida de precaución, los estudiantes permanecerán en aulas con aire acondicionado en funcionamiento hasta que se completen las reparaciones finales y podamos confirmar que se mantienen las temperaturas frescas de forma constante.
Gracias por su comprensión y apoyo mientras trabajamos para encontrar una solución a largo plazo.

Atentamente,

Good Morning Eagle Families,

I’m excited to share that the AC units in both our gymnasium and cafeteria are now fully operational. With these repairs complete, all activities and schedules will resume as normal, ensuring our students and staff enjoy a comfortable, climate-controlled environment that supports learning and growth.

With this behind us, we can return our full focus to what matters most—helping our students grow into the leaders they are meant to be.

Have a wonderful day, the EAGLE WAY!

Sincerely,
Mr. Mitchell

Con esto ya superado, podemos volver a centrarnos en lo que más importa: ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a convertirse en los líderes que están destinados a ser.

Dear Eagle Families,

We want to inform you of a temporary change to our lunch procedures. Due to an unexpected issue with the air conditioning in the cafeteria, the space has become too hot for students to eat safely and comfortably.

Until the issue is resolved, students will be eating lunch in their classrooms, where the temperature is more suitable. Our team will assist with the safe delivery and pick-up of lunches to ensure students still receive their meals on time.

We understand that changes like this can be inconvenient, but the health and well-being of our students is our top priority. Please rest assured that we are actively working on both a short-term and long-term solution to restore normal lunch operations as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued patience, understanding, and support as we navigate this temporary adjustment.

Warm regards,
Mr. Mitchell

Dear Eagle Families,

Thank you all for your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we worked through our dismissal process during the first days of school. We know that the experience may have felt longer or more hectic than expected, and we truly appreciate your cooperation during this time of transition.

Our primary goal is to ensure that every student is dismissed safely and securely, and sometimes that means adjusting systems as we learn what works best. While the process may not have been perfect, your support and grace have made a tremendous difference.

Please know that we are actively working to revise and improve our dismissal procedures to make them more efficient, faster, and far less stressful for everyone involved. These updates will prioritize both student safety and smoother operations for families and staff.

You can expect a new and improved process to be shared with you shortly, along with clear directions to help everything run more seamlessly moving forward.

Thank you again for being such valued partners in your child's education. We’re excited about the year ahead and committed to making each day better than the last!

Warm regards,

Mr. Mitchell
