THE EAGLE’S VIEW
I am excited about my role as principal
for Valley Mills Elementary. I look
forward to working with everyone involved in the education of our children
here in Valley Mills. This is truly
a great place to be— to live, and to raise and educate children.
ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE
TIMES
School starts promptly
at 8:00 A.M. The front door of the cafeteria locks when the 8:00 A.M.
bell rings. Students who do not arrive in time to enter through the
cafeteria doors will be escorted to the front office for a tardy slip. School
dismisses at 3:00 P.M. for bus riders, bike riders, and walkers. Car
pick up starts at 3:10 P.M. and all car riders should be picked up no later
than 3:30 P.M. Students not
picked up by 3:30 P.M. will be sent to the after school program and parents
will be assessed the daily rate. Please
make sure your children arrive to school on time and are picked up on time
after school. If there are any changes to your child’s
normal dismissal routine notify the office by 2:00 P.M. at 932-5526.
CAR
ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE DIRECTIONS:
Please do not park and get out of your vehicle in the
drive through area. Try to have your
child (ren) on the school side of the vehicle and our staff will assist
with helping them out of the vehicle.
The drive through is not two lane so do not pass other vehicles on
the left side. If your child is a
car rider it would be so much easier if as a parent you would let our
staff bring your child (ren) to the
vehicle rather than park and come in to get your child. Not only does this cause congestion in
the front area of the cafeteria, it also slows down traffic due to
pedestrians crossing. We would
appreciate it, if parents who come in to pick up children would give the
drive through a try, so we can we can manage the dismissal system more smoothly. Thank you for helping us be more
efficient in our dismissal system.
CAFETERIA
If your child eats breakfast and/or lunch in the
cafeteria those meals need to be paid for daily. Please take care of all charges in the
cafeteria.
ICECREAM, YOU
SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICECREAM
Ice cream sales will start Wednesday, September 8,
2010. Ice cream will be $1 and
students must bring money on the days that it is sold. Ice cream cannot be charged or paid for
ahead of time.
DRESS CODE
Make sure your child does not wear sleeveless shirts, spaghetti strap tops,
flip flops, backless shoes, or jeans with holes to school. These have been the only dress code
issues noticed during the first couple of weeks of school.
AFTER SCHOOL CARE
Valley Mills Elementary offers an after school program
from 3:30-5:45 P.M. each school day except early release days and
student/staff holidays. If a parent
is interested in after school care, he/she must fill out a form and prepay
before a child can attend. Forms can
be picked up at the elementary office or accessed from our website: www.vmisd.net.
CHEERLEADER
UNIFORMS
Cheerleader uniforms may be worn on Fridays as long as they have bloomers or
shorts under them. These are the
only exception to the sleeveless
rule, but only on Fridays during football season. GO
EAGLES!
