We are excited to share that our school’s Culture Playbook is now visible in the form of a brand-new, large-scale graphic. (As shown at the top of this newsletter.) The graphic was created, printed, and installed by Alley Cat. The second-floor extended learning space also features a new "Advance As One" graphic, reminding everyone of the power of collaboration. Culture isn't just something we print in the handbook or talk about in assemblies. These guiding principles are now front and center to remind every student and staff member what it means to be part of this community.   VVES March Students of the Month Kindergarten Kylie, Charlie, Jonathan, Lyla, Dino, Atticus First Luke, Rayleigh, Taytum, Sawyer, Annie Second Lily, Aubrey, Brennan, Lydia, Stella Third Stella, Eislynn, Evan, Luke, Kyle, Jaxson Fourth Connor, Kaylee, Grayson, Aislin, Olivia, Amelia Fifth Clay, Sydney, Bentley, Hayes, Paisley, Everly, Parker VVES Spartan Way Winners Kindergarten Holden & Emma First Emmy & Asher Second Wyatt & Khaleesi Third Remi & Josiah Fourth Lucas & Opal Fifth Aaliyah & Felix   March Parent Recognition It's time to recognize these outstanding Valley View parents!

This Week's View for January 30, 2026

January 30, 2026 (above image enhanced with Gemini)   Thank You! Thank you to everyone for your patience and hard work during the past week. Maintenance crews, district administrators, teachers, building office staff, athletic coaches, club advisors, students, parents, grandparents, and caregivers all had a busy and stressful week of uncertainty and what felt like insurmountable hurdles. Work, travel, temperature-related issues, waiting each day for the CLOSED announcements, and issues with online learning left us with, among other things, stories for the next generation. It is a testament to the strength of our district and community that so many were willing to help out wherever needed.   Menu Changes Please see the attachments for the February Cafe menus. Due to the week of snow days, the week of February 2-6 was changed from what is posted on the School Nutrition site. The first week of February will be the same as the last week of January.   Two-Hour Delay for Students The scheduled monthly two-hour delayed start for students due to Staff Professional Development will be Monday, February 2, 2026. Stay Alert for Delays and Closings Winter storm Fern dropped a LOT of snow and brought frigid (what's colder than frigid?) temperatures this week. Road crews from all jurisdictions worked hard to get roads cleared for travel, but district road conditions and low temperatures kept us out all week. A reminder to check weather conditions if you suspect a delay or closing. We will share information at the earliest opportunity using all of the following resources: ParentSquare Urgent Alert Pop-up on the district website The marquee in front of the K-12 Valley View Facebook Valley View Instagram WDTN.com WHIO.com Spectrum News 1 How We Make Snow Day Decisions Superintendent Cook sent this to families back in December, but here is a reminder about what goes into those early morning delay and closure calls. The Process: When winter weather is forecasted, our team springs into action. We monitor conditions throughout the evening and into the early morning hours. At 4:15 a.m., one of our vehicles begins driving through main roads and side streets across the district, checking road conditions firsthand. We're especially mindful of our high school students, many of whom are navigating snowy roads for the first time as new drivers. By 5:30 a.m., the team convenes to review road conditions and analyze whether the snow event has passed or is ongoing. We aim to make our final decision by 5:45 a.m., giving families time to make childcare arrangements before the workday begins. While the weather can be unpredictable, please know we're committed to making informed, safety-first decisions for every Spartan, every time.   Order Your Yearbooks! Both PreK-5th Grade and Middle School (grades 6-8) yearbooks are available to order. Order information is below.
