A Note from Dr. King and Mrs. Ross
Valley Creek Parents/Guardians,
I hope this message finds you well during this beautiful season of growth and renewal. As we usher in springtime at Valley Creek, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support and partnership in your child's education.
As we approach the end of the school year, let's recommit ourselves to focusing on learning, academic growth, all while have the best time EVER!
Together, we can ensure that every student finishes the year strong and is prepared for the next exciting step in their educational journey.
To assist our students in finishing the year on a high note, we have several upcoming events planned. These are designed to support our students in their endeavors. Please check your emails and the Cougargram for more information on these opportunities to help your child succeed.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Your involvement and collaboration make a significant difference in our school community. Let's work together to make these last couple of months of the school year fruitful and rewarding for our students.
Warm regards,
Dr. Ebonee King
