Nicolas Valley Elementary School

We educate, engage, and enrich every child, every day in a safe and supportive environment at Nicolas Valley Elementary School.

Our Goal- To empower and equip students to be productive and responsible citizens, through the use of technology, a culture for learning, and healthy connections within the school and community.

There are still a few spots left for your family to join us for our first Literacy Night. Reading, crafts, and treats are all part of the fun!

Starting this school year, the front doors of all campuses will be locked during school hours to prevent unauthorized access. Parents, guardians, and community members with school-related business will be able to enter the front office or reception area through a secure remote video access system located at the main entrance of each school. To ensure the safety of our students and staff, all visitors will be required to provide proof of identification before being granted entry. TVUSD remains committed to fostering a secure and welcoming environment where everyone can feel safe.

This year's Fall Book Fair is going to be epic! More Books. More Choices. More Fun.

NVES Scholastic Book fair is open to students during their regular library time, September 9th-13th with a special chance for families to shop Wednesday, 9/11 from 6pm-7:30pm.

When using the loop to pick up or drop off your child by car, PLEASE.....

• Only park in appropriate areas. The pick up loop can be a very busy place, especially on modified days. However, it is important to remember to only park in designated parking spaces. Please do not park along curbs that are painted red or in handicap spots unless you have a handicap placard. If there is not parking available when you arrive, you will need to park on the street and walk to meet your child or join the pick up loop. If you are parked in these areas, you will be asked to move.
• Always use the crosswalks.
• Do not use the parking lot as an additional pick-up line. This blocks access to parking spaces, including handicap spots. If there is not an open parking spot, please pull through and go around again to look for an opening or join the loop pick up line.
• Stay in your car when using the loop. If your child needs assistance entering or exiting the car, please park in the lot and walk them to their gate.
• Move all the way forward as directed by the school staff.
• In the morning, do not wait until your child reaches the gate to pull away. Staying in the loop and watching your child walk in through the gate, slows the flow of traffic. If you would like to watch your child enter the gate, please park your car and walk your child.
• At dismissal, do not stop in the loop and wait for your child to come your direction, instead pull up when there is space to pull forward. Pull all the way forward and continue to move forward with the traffic. Your child will walk down towards you.

Wednesday line-up will begin Wednesday, August 21st starting at 8:50 am. Students are encouraged to wear their team colors on Wednesday (blue, green, or purple) or a school spirit shirt. Any adults who would like to attend will need to follow visitor sign-in procedures through the front office. IDs are required to sign-in to our Raptor Visitor System. Please reference the student handbook for procedures for all visitors/volunteers on campus, including the Wednesday line-up. We suggest you come early or even the days prior to your first visit to complete your initial Raptor/clearance process.
