Hello Valley Vikings! I miss seeing everyone and hope all of you are doing well. I created my first “message from Mrs. Hart” and plan to share one each week while we are distance learning. I have set this up by creating my own google classroom. Creating a virtual classroom enables me to post a weekly video, share links to resources that might be useful, and connect with students during this distance learning time.
Students who want to be part of my google classroom here’s all you need to do:
Go into your google account
Click on the google app area (the block of 9 dots next to your login icon)
Select classroom and click the + sign in the top right corner to add yourself to my class.

STAY INFORMED
Communication is very important to your child’s success at school and we want to keep you informed of what is going on at Valley Elementary School. Please remember communication is a two-way process and you are encouraged to get in touch with your child’s teacher, as needed. We will use electronic communication frequently (Find Out First), so if you do not have access to a computer at home, please be sure to contact your child’s teacher to let them know. The Valley Viking Newsletters will be sent out electronically through Find Out First every two to three weeks.
Below are a few ways to stay informed about Valley and Frederick County Public Schools.
