Valley View Public Schools

Due to the storm last night, the phone lines at both the elementary and high school are currently down. We are working diligently to restore service. Thank you for your patience as we navigate this issue.

🎒📚 First Day of School, Blazers!💙💛 Welcome Back! We are excited to kick off an amazing school year with you! 🌟 #BlazerPride🔥

🎉Welcome Back, Blazers! We’re thrilled to welcome our students for the first day of school tomorrow! PreK and Kindergarten families—please check the staggered start schedule for your child’s specific start time. It’s going to be a great year! 💙💛 🚨 Important Reminders 🚨 🚗Please expect heavy traffic during drop-off and pick-up this first week—patience is key. If you have children in both Intermediate/Middle School and Jr. High, please drop off at the Intermediate building. Jr. High students will walk through the tunnel to cross the street. Remember, there are no left turns when exiting the Jr. High parking lot. Student drivers are encouraged to use Weaver Road or South Culberhouse to CR 425 to avoid congestion. 🔔During dismissal, safety will come first and vehicle loading will prioritize safety over speed. Families with children both in the Intermediate/Middle School and Jr. High should pick up at the Intermediate building, with Jr. High students again using the tunnel to cross the street. Please remember, no left turns out of the Jr. High parking lot and student drivers should use Weaver Road or South Culberhouse to CR 425. 🚌Bus routes may arrive early in the mornings at first, but will become more consistent. Afternoon buses may run later due to new riders, and adjustments will be made as needed. 📱Under Arkansas law, all personal electronic devices must remain powered off for the entire school day. ✅ Student safety is our top priority. Please do not use cell phones in school zones, do not park in fire lanes, and watch for students walking on campus. We can’t wait to see you tomorrow, Blazers!🔥
