The Valley School encourages parents/guardians to participate in the life of the school in a variety of ways. They may choose to assist on field trips, during special events, and occasionally in the classroom. We welcome their contributions in areas where they feel they have a particular interest or expertise. Most importantly, we need parents to work together with the staff to ensure the happiness and progress of their child.

 

Cultivating pride, communication, and connection within the Valley School community.

Families@Valley is a volunteer-run collective driving a spirit of involvement and inclusion to nurture Valley’s unique community. An organization for and of anyone helping raise a child at Valley, F@V is a critical communication link between Valley families, Admin, Faculty, and Staff in support of school events, activities, education, and more.

Our mantra/shorthand for F@V is “nurturer of the community, organizer of support, keeper of traditions".
