West Valley School

With the recent loss of a student from West Valley, we would like to offer parents an informational meeting regarding how to guide your child through times of grief (what to expect , how to give healthy support and when to reach out for professional help will be discussed). There will be time for questions and answers as time allows. Gretchen Brown (LCSW, West Valley parent/board member) will be our speaker. This event will occur May 4th at 5:30 pm in room B3 and is free of charge.

Tina Blair, Middle School Principal, speaks about the importance of passing this year's bond to address critical space needs and her fear of how West Valley could operate in the future if space needs are not addressed. https://fb.watch/cw9fFsuBxw/ Every share counts!
