Dear Valley View Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! As we begin a new year together, we are excited to open the first pages of another wonderful chapter at Valley View Elementary. This year, our school-wide theme is "One Building, Many Stories," a celebration of literacy, imagination, and the unique story each child brings to our school community.

Within our building are hundreds of stories waiting to be told. Every student arrives with their own experiences, dreams, talents, and interests. Throughout the year, we will work together to help our students discover the power of reading, writing, learning, and sharing their voices. Whether they are exploring a favorite book, writing a new story, solving a challenging problem, or making a new friend, every day adds another page to their educational journey.

At Valley View, we believe that creating lifelong readers creates lifelong learners. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity, build confidence, and foster a love of learning. Together, we will encourage students to see themselves as thinkers, communicators, and problem-solvers.

This school year will bring new faces, new opportunities, and new adventures. We invite all families to be active partners in creating a positive, welcoming environment where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed. When schools and families work together, amazing stories unfold.

Our Valley View School and GFPS District Handbooks are available online. Please visit the District website to access the district handbook. Click to view the Valley View handbook. If you need a printed copy, please contact our office at (406) 268-7145 and we will be happy to provide one.

Thank you for allowing us the privilege of being part of your child's story. We are honored to serve this wonderful community and look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and memorable moments.

 Together, let's turn the page and begin an incredible new chapter.
