Dragon Family, Below is information that I shared with all of our staff about our goals for the year. Let me know if you have any questions. The school year is almost here!!
There are four areas that we will focus on for this year. Number one is relationships. All staff need to develop relationships with everyone within the school community. The more positive role models that students have, the better chance they have to be successful.
The next focus is communication. I have an open door policy and our administrators do as well. An important part of communication is the chain of command, this is something that everyone in the school community needs to follow.
The third focus is school safety. All of our students and staff should feel safe in our school. Relationships and communication that have been previously mentioned will help keep our school district safe. Please follow our procedures that we have in place! Be aware of what is going on with our students, tell an administrator if you hear something that is not right, and keep exterior doors locked.
The last focus is post secondary effectiveness. How are we preparing our students to be successful after they leave Valley Falls High School? When they leave do they have the skills and knowledge to be successful attending a two or four year college, a technical school, the Armed Forces, or if they join the workforce.
MSFB parents! Practice will start tomorrow August 15th. Please drop your child off at the north parking lot. Practice will begin at 3:30 and conclude at 5:30. Pick up will also be at the north parking lot. Please make sure your child has cleats and a water bottle. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me at Dallas.clift@vfalls338.com
Any Junior or Senior planning on taking a Highland Community College course this fall, please plan to stop by Mrs. Cervantez’s office on Monday, August 15th, between 1pm- 5pm. If you have any questions please email Stacy Cervantez at Stacy.cervantez@vfalls338.com.

Welcome to the 22-23 School Year!!
School is just around the corner. Can’t wait to see everyone! Below are some important details.
Drop off and Pick up will be just a little different to accommodate area closures due to construction. In the morning, all students K-12 and Mrs. Penry’s PK will be dropped off on the east side of the grade school. Mrs. Penry’s PK and K-5 students will enter through the SE gym doors. 6-12 students who ride buses will enter through the main entrance of the grade school. These doors will open at 7:30

Back to School Night is scheduled for August 15th from 6 pm - 7 pm. Perfect time to meet your child’s teacher, see the room, and drop off student supplies. PTO will be hosting a free sundae bar in the lunchroom during this time as well. Thanks PTO! Parents of 6th grade and new middle school students will have a “Welcome to Middle School” informational meeting in the east gym starting at 7 pm to help answer any questions you may have about the transition to middle school.
Our annual Back to School Celebration and Parade is scheduled for K-5 students and parents on our first day of school, August 16th. Parents are welcome to attend this half day with us. We will all start out in the east gym where we will introduce staff. Parents will then have a quick informational meeting while students prepare for our parade with their teachers.
Parade Route: Students will exit the south end of the grade school and walk north on Oak Street, turn east on 6th Street (Caroline), turn south on Walnut, turn west on 7th Street (Francis), return to the building.
After the parade parents are welcome to join their child in his/her classroom. A special treat will be planned on the playground before dismissal at 11 AM. PLEASE MAKE SURE WENDY, IN THE OFFICE, KNOWS YOUR CHILD’S DISMISSAL PLANS FOR THE DAY.
All Students, PK-12, will attend classes on the 17th.
We are looking forward to a fabulous start to another Dragon School Year! As always, my door is always open. If you have any questions, concerns, or just feedback, please feel free to contact me at the Grade School Office 785-945-3221 or by email at susan.grey@vfalls338.com .
