Morning Drop-Off
We have had a large group of students waiting at the doors unsupervised. This is dangerous!
Thank you for keeping your students in the car with you until you see Safety Patrol and staff!
Upcoming Events
As a reminder, any visitor (parents included) must show a government-issued photo id to enter the school. Thank you for having yours ready each time you come to school!
Peace Week
Join us in spreading peace through the theme days!
Save the Date
We will have some music, snacks provided by PTA and a banner to sign. The event will end at 8:30 when students go to class.
Please follow the map below. And thanks to the IVE PTA and Watch Dog Dads for supporting this event!
Celebrating Birthdays with a Book for Home!
We received a BVEF grant from the Tortoise Foundation (donor named David Brown who is a BVEF board member).
Being surrounded by lots and lots of books where they live helps children build vocabulary, increase awareness and comprehension, and expand horizons — all benefiting them in adulthood. Connecting kids with books they will love is one of the most fun challenges we have as parents of emerging readers, and can be integral in creating life-long readers.
New Story Walk
Dear Indian Valley Families,
We are excited to share with you that a StoryWalk® has arrived at our school!
What is it?
StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children's book are attached to metal signs, which are installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story.
Where will the StoryWalk® be located?
You can find our StoryWalk® near the front entrance. It starts near the trail, between the parking lot and the baseball diamond, winding through the trees and ending near the school building.
Our “Why?”
This program will build a bridge between student literacy and family learning connections. Through this literature experience, families will also be participating in physical activity together and promoting wellness.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Guinn
Indian Valley Library Media Specialist
