Good Afternoon Eagle Families,

Proud to be an EAGLE...Then show it, 

Don’t just say it—display it!

Every Wednesday, students have the opportunity to show their Eagle Pride by wearing a Valley View Eagles shirt with their uniform pants.

Don’t have an Eagles shirt? No problem! Eagles shirts are available for purchase in the front office for $15.

Let’s fill the campus with Eagle Pride every Wednesday!

Good Morning, Eagle Families,

As many of you know, we have been experiencing extreme heat conditions over the past two weeks. With temperatures this high, it is important that we take preventative measures to help keep our students safe and comfortable while they are at school.

I am asking for your support with the following:

Please avoid sending students to school in hoodies, sweatshirts, or other heavy layers while we are experiencing these extreme temperatures. Additional layers can cause students to become overheated quickly.
Please send your child with a water bottle each day. Staying properly hydrated is especially important during periods of extreme heat and helps students remain comfortable and focused throughout the school day.
If your child has a medical or other health-related need that requires additional accommodations during periods of extreme heat, please communicate that with the school so we can ensure we are providing appropriate support.

Living in the desert certainly comes with its challenges! While we can't control what our Arizona weather brings us, we can take simple steps to help protect our students.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our Eagles safe, healthy, hydrated, and ready to learn during these extreme temperatures.

Respectfully,

Mr. Mitchell
Principal

Dear Eagle Families,

I want to inform you that Valley View Leadership Academy conducted a Lockdown Drill today as part of our ongoing commitment to the safety and security of our students and staff.

In accordance with state requirements, schools are required to conduct safety drills periodically throughout the school year. These drills are designed to ensure that students and staff understand how to respond appropriately and calmly in the event of an emergency.

During a lockdown drill, students and staff practice procedures such as:

Remaining calm and following directions from staff.
Securing and remaining inside classrooms or designated areas.
Maintaining a quiet and orderly environment.
Understanding that drills are practice opportunities and not actual emergencies.

We recognize that safety drills can sometimes cause questions or concerns, particularly for younger students. Our staff works to conduct these drills in an age-appropriate manner while reinforcing that the purpose is preparation, not fear. We want our students to feel safe, informed, and confident in knowing that the adults around them are prepared to respond should an emergency occur.

We appreciate your partnership in supporting our safety procedures. If your child has questions about today's drill, we encourage you to talk with them about the importance of following directions, remaining calm, and trusting the adults responsible for their safety.

The safety of our Eagles is always our highest priority. Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Respectfully,

Mr. Mitchell
Principal
Valley View Leadership Academy
