9th to 10th Registration
Parents,
It is that time of year when we have started the registration process for our 9th graders to select classes for their Sophomore year. We had the "Road Map to Registration" Zoom meeting on January 6, 2021 (Linked here if you missed it!)
And then we have the Valley 9th grade Parent Night this Thursday, January 14. See message:
"Hello, Valley Southwoods Students and Families! Be sure to tune in to Valley High School's Facebook page at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, for the virtual Ninth-Grade Parent Night. You'll learn more about all of the opportunities Valley offers through the 4 A's — academics, activities, arts, and athletics — and get other important information and upcoming reminders as we prepare for the 2020-21 school year.
Can't watch in real-time? No sweat. A replay will be available online at wdmcs.org and the WDMCS YouTube channel."
Thanks
Mitch Kuhnert and Haley Hockensmith
