BOUNCY HOUSES AT RECESS
We did a school wide positive reward system to promoted responsible, respectful and safe behavior. The reward is a bouncy house slide, a bouncy house obstacle course, and a bouncy house sport interactive house (shoot basketballs, throw footballs, etc) for recess on Wednesday, May 25.
We are looking for parent volunteers to help stand at the entrance of the bounce houses and monitor that only one kid at a time is using the bounce house. Use the link below to sign up! We are definitely looking forward to a day of FUN!
School Field Trip 5/31 to Gameday Lanes
On Tuesday, May 31st, Valerius students and staff will attend a School-Wide Field Trip to Gameday Bowling Lanes as an end of year celebration. Students will be bused over in groups. The first bus will depart Valerius at 9:45am and the last bus returns approximately at 2:30pm.
Students will eat sack lunches either before they leave for the field trip or after they return. Due to the entire school attending and time restraints, your student will NOT be able to purchase concessions.
**If you are interested in being a Parent Volunteer this day, sign up using the link below. You can also find the the sign up link on the Valerius Facebook page and the Valerius Website.

Free Meals for All Students Ends With the 2021-2022 School Year
When the 2021-2022 school year ends, so do free meals for every student.
While the federal government funded a program that allowed all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress recently declined to continue funding this program. This means all families will need to carry a positive balance in their children’s school meal accounts when school begins next fall.
If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, they can still receive them next year, click HERE for more information about how to make that happen.
To learn more about applying for free or reduced meals, please visit the Nutrition Services website.
For assistance in completing the application or for questions, please contact the Nutrition Department at 515-457-6911.
The Urbandale Community School District is an equal opportunity provider.
