Reminder for SNOW DAYS: When the weather causes the local Valley View School District schools to close, our school will also close. Midwest will be listed with www.emergencyclosings.com. As parents, you may register with this site to get notifications sent to your email address when we change our school status.
Please remember that we do go outside daily, unless the temperatures are extreme, so your children need to have proper winter attire for the weather.
Reminder about pick up time: During the winter when our students have extra clothing to put on before going home it may cause our classes to be dismissed a little later than usual. Please be patient – they are learning valuable lessons in independence and caring for themselves.
Reminder about the drive up lane: Please note that leaving an unattended car in the drive in front of the school is not allowed, as this is a fire lane. Drop off and pick up are allowed in this drive, provided the driver stays in the car and is able to move immediately when needed.
In particular, please note that we have a bus picking up one of our students at 12:00. If you are picking up at this time, you may pull in following the bus, but not ahead of it. The bus should be able to pull up to the curb to pick up the child. The same is necessary for field trip busses.
When using the front drive for drop off or pick up, for your child’s safety, please only allow them to exit or enter your car at the curb, not on the driver’s side of the car.
