Thanks to Fitbit and the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the Ohio school district that racks up the most steps will win $1,500 , while the biggest steppers in each of the six OHSAA district regions could win $1,000 each. All school district employees and students are welcome to join in the fun!    To register, follow the directions below and get signed up by Friday, October 22nd. How to Register: Go to https://www.fitbit.com/care/go/804091 Enter your Fitbit account information, or create a free account so you can manually submit your steps. Once you agree to the terms/conditions, you will need to select "Valley View Spartans" as your team. As an extra bonus, people who register for the challenge  have access to Fitbit Premium until December 21, 2021. Frequently Asked Questions: Q. I don’t have a Fitbit, am I still allowed to participate?  Yes, you can use a different device to track your steps. However, you’ll need to enter your actions manually on the Fitbit app or website. Q. How do I know if I registered adequately?  You will receive an email confirming that you’re registered and that you're ready to go! Q. How do I manually log my steps?  You can download the app to your smart device or add your steps on the Fitbit website. Q. I have 10,000 steps every day, but my team's score is lower than that. Why?  Your team score is an average for the two weeks of the Challenge across your whole team. Q. What do I do if my Fitbit isn’t syncing to my app?  Please tweet or chat with Fitbit technical support, or call (877) 623-4997. Q. Will Fitbit automatically convert other activities to steps?  Except for a run, walk, and hike, activities are not converted into steps. You'll have to add your event manually. Q. I accepted the invite, but don’t see the Challenge.  The Challenge will not be visible to participants until it’s officially launched a few days before the start date.   We would love to see a large number of Valley View Spartans participate in this together!!

  • From the Desk of the Superintendent- September 28th,...

    Dear Valley View Community, We have been closely monitoring all of our numbers since the beginning of the school year.  While our overall attendance rate is slightly below normal levels, we have been pretty steady throughout the month. However, we have seen a rapid and significant increase of students absent in 4th grade.  The past two days we have seen roughly 30% of our 4th grade students absent from school.  There have been 7 confirmed cases of Covid, with a number of students contact-traced out of school.  Anecdotally, we also know there are some other illnesses going around.   As such, the 4th grade, and ONLY the 4th grade, will be going remote on Thursday, Friday, and Monday.  We would encourage parents of all 4th grade students to keep their students home tomorrow, but we understand this transition for parents and guardians may be difficult and wanted to give parents an extra day to make plans for supervision.  As it currently stands, most of our students should be able to return on Tuesday, which is why we will be remote on Monday. The goal is to keep students in school as much as possible.  Our hope is that by taking this action in 4th grade, we can hopefully prevent the spread to other grade levels.  The percentage of students absent in 4th grade is more than twice that of the nearest grade level. If you have students in multiple grade levels, this ONLY affects students in 4th grade. To the parents of the 4th grade students, if you need assistance with technology or hotspots, please contact our Technology Coordinator, Brian Lemke at  brian.lemke@valleyview.k12.oh.us Any families needing food assistance for these remote days can go to the rear entrance of the High School on Wednesday, September 29th from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM.  Questions about food pick-up can be directed to Director of Operations, Erick Depew, at  erick.depew@valleyview.k12.oh.us I would also strongly encourage parents and guardians of 4th grade students to keep their students at home and not have them attend activities or events for these next few days to help curb any spread. Mrs. Schmidt will be in touch with the parents and guardians of 4th grade students about the academic plan for these three days, along with information about school picture day. We are doing our best to keep everyone safe while also promoting a focus on learning.  In the meantime, everyone can continue to help us by keeping any students at home who are not feeling well.  Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this situation.   Sincerely, Ben Richards

  • COVID Protocol Update

    Yesterday, the Valley View Board of Education had a special meeting to discuss COVID-related safety protocols for the upcoming school year.  The district has had the benefit of watching how other area schools have been impacted for the beginning of the year thanks to the decision to start school after Labor Day. Starting Tuesday, September 7th, the district will be implementing an indoor mask mandate for students and staff.  The unanimous goal for the district is to do everything possible to keep students in school every day.  Looking at the number of districts who have quarantined large numbers of students or shut down their schools due to current quarantine rules, this implementation gives us the best opportunity to remain in person for learning and keep our students healthy.  We will revisit this regularly. Medical and religious exemptions can be found by clicking on this link or visiting the “Forms” section of the district website.
