Dear Valley View families,

We would like to thank you for your collaboration in getting our students prepared for our first day of school.

As we begin the school year, we continue to encourage families to get involved. We will be sending more information on how you can be part of parent committees such as PTA, SSC, ELAC, and ATP.

Welcome back!

Dr. Gomez and Mr. Anaya

***Aeries Parent Portal will display students' teachers as of 4:00pm on 8/6/24.

• Please send a water bottle with students. Our water fountains are fillable drinking fountains. Students will be able to refill them.
• If students are bringing their own lunch, please have them bring it to school at arrival.
• Please remind your students which dismissal gate to meet their cars.
• If students are in Half Time, parents must receive a confirmation call or email to ensure they are enrolled and teachers will direct them to the cafeteria at dismissal.

Families,

Please join us in having our students participate in a colorful dress up Auguts. See teh list below for the colors our students can wear throughout August.

Thursday 8/15-Blue

Friday 8/16-Purple

Monday 8/19-Yellow

Tuesday 8/20-White

Wednesday 8/21-Pink

Thursday 8/22-Black

Friday 8/23-Grey

Monday 8/26- Brown

Tuesday 8/27- Rainbow Colors

We want to kindly remind you that meals are now available for all students at no cost. Additionally, we would appreciate your cooperation in having your students line up in alphabetical order while going through the lunch lines. This simple step not only streamlines the process but also enables our team to become familiar with each student's name, facilitating a more efficient flow.

For breakfast service, we encourage students to familiarize themselves with their unique student ID numbers. Alternatively, they can utilize the barcode on their student ID cards for a quicker process. Practicing the input of these numbers and using their student IDs has shown to lead to mastery within approximately 14 days. Just like learning a phone number, mastering their student ID can greatly expedite their morning routine.

We hope everyone enjoys a fantastic start to the school year.

Dear Parents,

We need five members for our 2024-2025 School Site Council!

This council will consist of five parents and five school staff, elected by their peers. Its main function will be to review and periodically assess Valley View’s school programs, making changes in the plan as the need arises. The council will meet once a month for approximately one hour from 2:30-3:30 pm. We need representation from all aspects of our community.

If you are interested in serving on this council for the 2024-2025 school year, please fill out the attached form by Friday, August 16, 2024. We have five parent member positions that need to be filled. We will then place your name on our ballot to elect School Site Council members.

Valley View ELAC is back!!!

Every school with 21 or more English learners must have an English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). The Valley View ELAC is responsible for reviewing and using information from many sources to make decisions about improving programs at our school. The ELAC gives input on how to use funding to improve academic achievement for English Learners. Meetings are generally held monthly and last approximately 1 hour. This year we have 5 open seats for parents/community members. If you would like to be a part of this council, please complete the following survey by 8/16/24. We will send ballots the following week with the names of all parents that are interested in serving.

Hello Viking Community,

At Valley View we truly believe that collaboration between parents and educators is essential for the development of our students. Soon we will begin a series of parenting (or caregiving) workshops called Caregiver University.

We hope to see you at our workshops!

Respectfully,

Mrs. Janea Jaime, School Counselor
