The holidays are an exciting time at any school. It could be because of finals week and the anticipation of having half of the year finished. It may be because students know that they will have a well-deserved break coming up soon or just the excitement of seeing snow on the ground. This is no different for the students at Valley.
The Valley School District continues to thrive because of a strong commitment to student success, supportive families, and dedicated educators. Every day, our teachers and staff work to create learning environments where students feel safe, encouraged, and inspired to grow. From the moment students walk through our doors, they are met with high expectations and the support they need to meet them.
Beyond academics, our district places a strong emphasis on building well-rounded students through extracurricular programs, athletics, and leadership opportunities. These activities not only enrich the school experience but also help students develop confidence, teamwork, and resilience. I believe that education extends far beyond the classroom, and that we should be committed to providing experiences that help students grow both academically and personally.
A major source of our district’s strength comes from our families and community partners. Your involvement—whether through volunteering, attending events, or simply supporting learning at home—plays a vital role in the success of our students. I know that in the upcoming months we will have some tough decisions for next year regarding our budget. As we look towards the second semester, we would love to have your feedback on some things that may be impacted at the Valley School District. Here is a QR code to take a short survey to give us some community feedback. Or you an click this link.
As we look ahead, we are excited about the continued growth and progress of our district. Thank you for allowing us to work with your children. Go Vikings!
