Dear Eagle Families,

It was wonderful seeing so many of you at Meet the Teacher Night! Thank you for taking the time to visit our campus. We are excited to welcome our Eagles back for an amazing school year and can't wait to see everyone bright and early on Monday morning.

As a reminder, campus gates will open at 7:00 AM. Students will not be permitted on campus before that time, as we do not have staff available to supervise them prior to 7:00 AM.

School will dismiss at 2:30 PM. Students will be released according to their designated mode of transportation:

Walkers and bus riders will exit through the back gates.
Parent pick-up students will exit through the front of the school.

Please be patient during afternoon dismissal, especially during the first few days of school, as our drive line may take a little longer than usual. Our staff will work diligently to ensure the process is as safe and efficient as possible.

We also ask for your partnership in keeping our campus safe by following these important reminders:

Please drive slowly and obey all posted speed limits while on campus and in the surrounding school zone.
Do not park in bus loading zones or staff parking areas. These areas must remain clear to ensure the safe arrival and dismissal of our students.
By working together and following these procedures, we can provide a safe, welcoming, and organized environment for every Eagle.
Thank you for your continued support. We hope you have a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone on Monday for the first day of school!

Have a great day, the EAGLE WAY!

Meet the Teacher Night
Good Morning, Eagle Families,

As a reminder, Meet the Teacher Night is tomorrow, and we are excited to welcome everyone back to Valley View Leadership Academy!

We will be selling Valley View spirit shirts for $15 during the event. We encourage all families to purchase a shirt and show their Eagle pride throughout the school year.

Beginning this school year, every Wednesday will be a Valley View Pride Day. Students wearing an official Valley View spirit shirt may pair it with their school uniform bottoms as part of our Early Release Wednesday tradition.

Please note that Wednesdays are the only day students may be slightly out of uniform. Students who do not have a Valley View spirit shirt are expected to wear their regular school uniform on Wednesdays, just as they would on any other school day.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening and can't wait to kick off another amazing year together!

Go Eagles!

Dear Parents and Families,

This is a friendly reminder that Teacher Appreciation Week is approaching. Our teachers work tirelessly each day, and their dedication to ensuring that all students learn at high levels is truly commendable.

If you would like to recognize your child’s teacher with a small token of appreciation, it would be greatly appreciated. While not required, these gestures are a meaningful way to show gratitude for the hard work and commitment our teachers demonstrate every day.

Thank you for your continued support of our staff and school community.
