District Newsletter for November 1, 2024
The Week's View November 1, 2024 National Honor Society Inducts New Class We are proud to present this year's National Honor Society students who were inducted in the High School gym on Sunday, October 27, 2024. NHS is an organization that recognizes students for their academic achievement, service, leadership, and character. Current NHS officers President Kaleb Lynch, Treasurer Jonnah Burge, Reporter Ella Moler, and Secretary Sierra Adkins hosted the event. Vice President Mauriana Blevins could not attend due to being called for National Guard training. Junior Chris Ryczek provided piano accompaniment throughout the ceremony. Congratulations to the new members: Addy Abner, Cheyenne Adkins, Inara Arnett, Keira Arstingstall, Ashley Bailey, Claire Barnett, Sam Berry, Piper Blakley, Payton Blevins, Keaton Bowman, Brooklyn Bromagen, Lee Cox, Brooklyn Forrer, Hunter Foss, Eli Gilbert, Allison Greene, Noah Handy, Abbey Heater, Morrigan Horner, Lauren Hypes, Jessica King, Rivers Lemke, Kyla McLaughlin, Alivia Miller, Lauren Miller, Cy Morris, Molliee Ramps, Callie Rozelle, Kaylee Sargent, Claire Shuey. Hayden Sorrell, Makayla Stoutenborough, Ava Thompson, Anthony Valenti, Marin Weibel, Emma Willey. Moving in the Right Direction: New Traffic Pattern to Keep School Safe! As we move to one campus, drop-off, pick-up, bus, and student-driver traffic will look much different. Local law enforcement has created a traffic flow pattern to keep drivers moving quickly and safely during peak times. One of the biggest adjustments is for drivers picking up students. Drivers cannot line up more than ten minutes before dismissal. This is in order to keep the drives open in the event of an emergency. Please see the attached presentation to learn about this new flow and share it with anyone who might drop off or pick up your student. This presentation is also available to view on the district home page. New Bell Schedules Another change happening when we move is a slight shift in bell schedules. Our K-6 students will not see any change in timing for the 2024-2025 school year but Junior High and High School students will now begin the day at 7:35 AM and end the day at 2:32 PM. (Parents of current 5th graders should know that beginning in 2025-2026, 6th graders will follow the Junior High schedule and their day will run 7:35 AM-2:32 PM.) You can view all bell schedule information on our website by clicking this text or tapping the bell schedules hot button on the district home page. Military Recognition and Hall of Fame Valley View is reaching out to our community members to help complete two areas of our digital Wall of Fame project for the new campus: If you or a family member were inducted into the Valley View Schools Hall of Fame, we would love to have a photo to accompany the brief bio on the board. If you, or a family member, are currently serving in the armed forces or are a Veteran, we would love to include name, branch of service, and service dates in the Military Recognition area. Sending a photo would be great too! The digital records board is an interactive way to view academic and athletic achievements, senior composites, student and military recognition and all inductees in the Valley View Schools Hall of Fame.

New Campus Traffic Patterns
Did you know there are only 14 more days for our K-12 students in the current buildings? And there are only 32 days until the first day of classes on the new campus! There are a lot of changes coming our way and we ask your patience and attention during all phases of The Big Move. At times you may feel overwhelmed with communication but it's important to ensure all families have complete and correct information so we can avoid too many hiccups. If you have any questions or need clarification at any time, please reach out to your building administrators. Now for the first major change: TRAFFIC! There will be many vehicles driving in and out, dropping off, or picking up students in a short period of time. Patience and consideration will be the keys to a safe arrival and dismissal process. Our local law enforcement requests all drivers follow the traffic pattern developed for the K-12 campus. The presentation is attached to this message. Please review and share with anyone who might be dropping off or picking up your student. Student drivers also need to become familiar with this process. This presentation is also available on the home page of the district website . Scroll down past News & Announcements. Thank you for reviewing the plan and for your continued patience during The Big Move!

Facebook: Valley View Spartans Athletic Department X (formerly Twitter): @SpartansView Instagram: vv_spartans_athletics Athlete(s) of the Week Mason Dearth (7th Grade Football) Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Mason’s story is one that goes beyond the football field. As a 7th grader, he’s been battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hasn’t been able to suit up this season. But that hasn't stopped him from making a huge impact on his team. Mason shows up to every practice, stands with his teammates, and leads them out onto the field for every game. He has been our speaking captain and coin toss master all season. His quiet strength and resilience have become a source of inspiration for everyone around him. Mason isn’t the loudest guy in the room—he’s calm, kind-hearted, and prefers to let his actions speak. His teammates and coaches absolutely love him, not just for his courage but because he’s such a genuine, down-to-earth kid. In the classroom, Mason excels, keeping up with his studies.. Though he tends to avoid the spotlight, Mason’s heart and dedication make him stand out in the best way possible. He’s the kind of teammate that makes everyone around him better. We love our #3.” Ryan Fritz (8th grade Football) Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Ryan Fritz is the kind of player you can't help but root for. Standing tall and strong, he's our "gentle giant"—a powerhouse on the field, but one of the most polite and kind-hearted people you'll ever meet off of it. After an early-season injury that could’ve set him back, Ryan showed incredible grit, coming back stronger and immediately making a difference on both our offensive and defensive lines. Ryan brings a raw intensity to every snap, using his size and strength to bulldoze through defenders. Yet, off the field, he’s as humble and kind as they come. He’s always respectful, quick with a smile, and the kind of teammate everyone can count on. Ryan’s work ethic doesn’t stop when the game ends. He’s an outstanding student, proving that his determination extends far beyond football. Ryan may be a beast between the lines, but to those who know him, he’s so much more—an all-around great guy and a true asset to our team.” Luke Wright (Boys Soccer) Coach Stoutenborough’s comments: “Luke is a junior defender who has completed his third straight year starting on the defense. He may be small in stature, but not in his heart and tenacity. Luke has been very enjoyable to coach and looking forward to his senior season.” Avery Miller (Boys Soccer) Coach Stoutenborough’s comments: “Avery is a freshman winger who started all 18 games. Avery is a very skilled offensive player and does an excellent job marking people in the defense. Avery looks to improve every day and game. We are excited that he still has 3 more years to come.”

Facebook: Valley View Spartans Athletic Department X (formerly Twitter): @SpartansView Instagram: vv_spartans_athletics Athlete(s) of the Week Miles Winkler (8th Grade Football) Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Miles has been a game-changer for our team this season. His decision to play has made a huge impact, and he continues to get better each day. Standing tall and playing physical, this week he shined on both offense and defense. He blocked a punt that was recovered for a touchdown and made several impressive catches, including a key 2-point conversion. Off the field, Miles is an all-around awesome young man. He earns great grades and is known for being kind and respectful. He also made the crucial play in our win against Edgewood, catching the ball and lateraling to Trey Reed for the game-winning score.” David Bertram (7th Grade Football) Coach Stubbs’ comments: “From the very start, David has proven to be one of our toughest players. He's a physical, hard-hitting force on defense and has really hit his stride on offense. This week, David made a stunning long reception and several key plays on defense, showing his versatility on the field. David also excels academically, maintaining an impressive near 4.0 GPA. His dedication both on and off the field makes him an invaluable part of the team!” Xavier Izor (Boys Soccer) Coach Stoutenborough’s comments: “As sophomore goalkeeper, Xavier has been much improved this season and has been part of 4 defensive shutouts recorded on the season. He has also been credited with 120 saves. Xavier has become much more vocal this season. We still have two more years with Xavier, and that is extremely exciting.” Avery Heater (Girls Soccer) Coach Barnett’s comments: “Avery has been a real revelation for us this season. Through the spring and summer months, she showed inklings of her soccer potential, but as we moved into the fall, she began to blossom and earned a spot as a key member of our varsity squad. Despite being a freshman, she has been able to seamlessly adjust to the pace and physicality of the high school game through her speed and desire to win the ball, playing primarily as our left outside midfielder. Last Tuesday, she scored two goals in less than three minutes against Twin Valley South to solidify our lead going into halftime and also contributed defensively to maintain that lead through the second half.”
