Important Reminder: Mandatory Attendance at Chorus Rehearsals

We kindly ask that you ensure your child attends every chorus rehearsal. With our highly anticipated Knott’s Berry Farm performance just around the corner, consistent attendance is critical for all students. Unfortunately, some students have been missing multiple practices. If this pattern continues, they may not be eligible to perform.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we prepare for this exciting event!

Feb. 3-7th is National School Counseling Week! 🎉

I am Mrs. Jaime, the full-time counselor at Valley View, and I'm blessed to be able to support the emotional, social, and academic growth of all students at Valley View.

I have been at Valley View since 2014, and honestly love each and every one of my students! Thank you for letting me be a part of their lives and educational journey.

Here is a very quick snapshot of my role:

✅ Teaching regular classroom lessons on important skills like kindness, problem-solving, and managing emotions.

✅ Providing a safe space for individual and small group counseling.

✅ Helping students navigate challenges, build confidence, and develop lifelong skills.

✅ Partnering with families and staff to create a positive, supportive school environment.
