Notes to Parents:
Parents and guardians, please take a moment to review your child’s grades and assignments in Infinite Campus. The information you gather here can help to facilitate conversations at home. It is a great opportunity to celebrate successes and encourage improvement.
If you do not have an Infinite Campus account (click here).
Valley/VSW PTO invites you to help make 5000 cookies! Please sign up to bring a minimum of two dozen cookies, bars, or holiday treats to put in the boxes. Silver Cord students can earn one hour of credit for every two dozen homemade standard size, decorated cookies, bars, or treats (festive, holiday cookies are needed more than chocolate or brown). Please do not donate more than 10 dozen of one type of cookie and bring all cookies (bars must be cut) in disposable containers.
Volunteers are also needed to help fill boxes. It’s a fun way to meet other parents! You do not need to be a member of PTO to help with this event.
Valley Southwoods Drop Off: For VSW students and parents, we will also have a limited drop off at the VSW main office on Tuesday morning (Dec. 11; PLEASE NOTE, this is a change from what was previously posted) between 7:30-8:30 a.m. Questions? Please contact Laura Porter (email click here).
