Valley Creek Cougargram

Dear Valley Creek Families,

Thank you for another wonderful week at Valley Creek! We’ve had a fantastic February, and we’re proud to see our students continue to grow and thrive. As we close out the month, we look forward to all the exciting things happening in March!

Be sure to read the Cougargram carefully this week, as it will include important information about MISD’s open enrollment, returning student registration, and everything happening here at Valley Creek.

We appreciate your continued support, and we’re excited for what’s ahead this spring!

Warm regards,

Dr. Ebonee King

Principal
