Parents:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2021-2022 school year! It is our priority to work together with each family to provide a safe, secure environment in which each student is able to reach their full potential. The school district’s return to in-person plan is posted on the website for your review and information. This can be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/10xoV7z7wAo5zDy6geFcLgYLAvAmfscvH/view. The teachers and staff at Garden Valley are working tirelessly to ensure the success of the school year and appreciate hearing your thoughts and concerns. Your involvement is of the utmost importance and vital to your child’s success.
We encourage you to attend open house on August 16th, from 4pm-7pm at Garden Valley in order to familiarize yourself and your student with the school, the building, and staff.
