Autumn is here in earnest and the cooler temperatures brought out some jackets this week at Valley View Elementary School. Our Pre-k went on their field trip to Orr's Farm Market's Pumpkin Patch and our 2nd grade team is geared up for their trip on Monday. We also began our new state Dyslexia screener through i-Ready for at-risk students. Valley View also hosted this year's first Local School Improvement Council (LSIC) Meeting to build a united school community. It was a positive week of teaching and learning all around!
