Dear WVMS Community,
We are excited to invite you to join us in making a positive impact at Western Valley Middle School! There are many ways you can get involved to support our students, strengthen our community, and contribute to creating an enriching school environment.
We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to join our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). By participating, you can help with fundraising efforts, volunteer in our school store, and attend meetings to plan exciting student events and meaningful campus service activities. Your involvement directly supports the programs and resources that make WVMS a special place for our students.
Additionally, we are looking for a couple of dedicated parent volunteers to serve on our WVMS Site Council. The Site Council meets once a quarter at 2:15 PM and offers a valuable opportunity to provide input on school initiatives, policies, and improvement efforts. Your insights and perspectives can help shape the future of our school.
If you’re interested in joining PTO, volunteering, or serving on the Site Council, please click the link below to share your contact information. We look forward to working together to create a wonderful school experience for all!

Respectfully,
Dr. Stephanie Nardi
Principal, Western Valley Middle School
FESD Policy:
Electronic devices including, but not limited to, cell phones, handheld devices, media players, watches, earbuds, or other similar gadgets are not allowed to be used or displayed during the school day, from the beginning to the end, unless a staff member specifically instructs or permits their use for educational purposes. It is important that these devices do not disrupt the learning
environment, compromise safety, or affect the well-being of others. Please note that the school district cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, or theft of such devices, and students bringing such devices to school or a school event do so at their own risk.
To maintain a focused and respectful learning environment at Western Valley Middle School, we have a clear policy regarding cell phones and wearable tech:
- All cell phones must be turned off and kept in backpacks throughout the school day. This includes lunch, recess, and passing periods.
- If a cell phone is seen out during the school day, it will be confiscated. The phone can be picked up by a parent or guardian (not the student) in the office after school or before school the following day. This policy will apply to each offense.
- Wearable technology, such as smartwatches, will be subject to the same policy if they become a distraction.
