Twoonies for Terry!
Join us for our Terry Fox assembly and run on September 28th at 1:30 pm. We are hoping to raise $1000 as a Valley View community. Cancer has impacted so many of our families, both directly and indirectly. Starting next week, you can bring your donations to your teachers. We can do this!

Our gymnastics/movement education unit will be starting at on Monday, January 22nd, beginning with our work on mats followed by larger equipment use. We are fortunate to have a lot of gymnastics equipment and teachers have volunteered to attend workshops to prepare themselves for this unit. Throughout the year, the teachers have worked to provide students with a variety of experiences to establish safety routines and promote cooperation and good sportsmanship. Within all of our units, the children have many opportunities to develop their individual skill level, share their accomplishments and experience the satisfaction of teamwork in a safe and non-threatening atmosphere. We would like each child to review these guidelines of gym conduct with their parents as it will help them better understand the importance we stress on safety.
Student Expectations:
• No jewelry, loose clothing, skirts or dresses.
• Bare feet, running shoes or gymnastics slippers are acceptable.
• Tie back long hair.
• Students work independently or in small groups QUIETLY as noise can distract others and may cause falls.
• Children do what they are comfortable doing. No showing off or daring is allowed.
• Although some students have had private gymnastics training, there will be no aerial stunts such as dive rolls, aerial somersaults (flips), head springs or hand springs as these activities do not fit into the gymnastics curriculum.
As you can see, safety is important at Valley View School. Students must conduct themselves in a cooperative and safe manner. Please review these expectations at home with your child.
