We are approaching December and can anticipate having a busy month, not to mention the certainty of colder weather settling in.
Please regularly check the VV web page for updates in the teachers' blogs and under news for parents. At the end of this month there will be a number of reports for parents to read. Coming soon we will see a new look to VV's web page as all of the CBEs pages will be configured to look the same. We will update when this occurs.
VV school is undergoing an update to the wireless network and that Is good news. We will have better access to on-line activities anywhere in the building.
Parent teacher conferences was a huge success and teachers were very happy to connect with parents. Student report cards will be sent home on January 29, 2018.
Parents please note that when students miss school there is a gap between what is taught in the classroom and the student's understanding when they return. The Alberta Program of studies have expectations and teachers teach with this in mind. When there is a gap that gap may not always be made up. Prolonged absence may impact learning.

Valley View Food Drive: December 4 – 8, 2017
It’s time again for Valley View’s annual food drive! From December 4th to 8th, students will be bringing non-perishable food to school to help address hunger on a local level. Supporting the Calgary Food Bank is the perfect way to participate in the spirit of the season. When making your donation please think about the non-perishable food in your own home. What do you usually buy and use? Those items often make the best donations. It’s helpful for donors to double check the expiry dates on items they bring in. See below for a list of non-perishable food needed:
Cereal
Peanut butter
Pancake mix
Syrup
Canned meat (ham, turkey)
Canned fish
Canned fruit
Canned vegetables (corn, peas, carrots, mixed vegetables)
Stuffing mix
Cranberry sauce (whole berry)
Soup (tomato, cream of mushroom, chicken noodle, chunky-style soups & stews, dry packaged soups, canned chili)
Pasta sauce (tomato based)
Juice
Brown Beans
Dry Pasta
Baby Food
