Dear Families,
We are now heading into November, and the weather is changing. Please remember to ensure your child is dressed appropriately for school. This means they have proper footwear and warm clothing, as learning continues to be both indoors and outdoors. If there are any families in need of winter clothing, please contact the school.
Daylight Savings Time
This Sunday marks Daylight Savings Time. Remember to turn your clocks back by one hour.
Staff Updates
Mr. Andrew Peltier, our Facility Operator, retired today from the CBE. Mr. Peltier has served the organization for more than 20 years, many of those years being here at Valley View School. We will miss Mr. Peltier and wish him all the best in this next chapter of his life!
New! Gated Fence
We recently had 2 gates installed along the perimeter of Valley View School. One gate is along 26th Avenue SE and the other is along 41st Street SE. These gates are meant to create more safety for students who are playing on the playground. If parents would like to access the school grounds through these gates, please remember to close the gate and reattach the pin that holds it in place. Thank you.
