FAMILIES OF VALLEY LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT STUDENTS
As the holidays are approaching, we would like to remind everyone to update any information changes to keep our time at school a success. We understand with all of the running to and fro for the holiday season this makes it hard for families to cover everything. This may cause changes to occur that need to be communicated to our staff. We ask that all information be updated to cover your student's needs for cases such as illness, giveaways, fundraisers, food drives or any other holiday updates that would pertain to your student.
Information that is to be checked for updates are as follows: student's contact numbers, address or transportation changes (per student handbook). Please log on to the Final Forms website with the link provided below. It is good to update all new and changed information to Final Forms this way so the school staff will be able to contact you in time of need or with questions regarding your student.

The school district heard of a possible social media threat this morning. Law enforcement was contacted to attempt to verify the social media post. At this point it has not been verified or seen by the Sheriff's Office. We will continue to operate on a normal schedule.
We apologize for the lunch/breakfast negative balance calls going out with the incorrect information. We had hoped the issue was resolved. We are continuing to work with the company to get this taken care of. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you to all who came out and supported Valley Athletic Boosters on Saturday at our first Car Show. The music was playing, and the cars were shining on Saturday in Lucasville. There were some very nice cars in attendance. "Our plan was to get the car show started and off the ground this year, and hope to build on this for a larger event next year", said Craig Tackett. "I'd like to thank each and everyone who came to the car show". There were many door prizes that were given away as well as People's Choice awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Participants and spectators had the opportunity to vote on their favorite car. Votes were counted and trophies were given out to the top three choices.

Valley Band: Help Wanted
Valley Middle School Transportation Changes
Buses will pick up VMS students before VHS students this school year. VMS bus riders will be dismissed before parent pick-ups. There will be no parking permitted in front of the building starting at 2:15 until the buses leave at approximately 2:35. Cones will be placed to clear the front parking lot at 2:15. If you need to pick your child up between that time frame, please call the office to make arrangements. Students getting picked up will be dismissed from the building as soon as the buses leave. The cones out front will be removed, and then parents of 5th graders may park in the front. Parents parking in the front will need to park in two single-file rows. Only 5th graders and siblings of 5th graders will be dismissed out front. If you are a parent of a 5th-grader, please do not arrive before 2:35 because there will not be available parking. If you are a parent of a student in 6th-8th grade, you will pick up your child in the back parking lot. We will use the cone system in the back to stop traffic for students in 6th-8th grades. All parents must be parked in a parking space and remain parked until the cones in the back have been removed and the school staff has signaled to begin leaving. During the first few weeks of school, morning dropoff and afternoon pickup tend to be more congested as we are all adjusting to new routines, so please be patient with us and each other.
