Valley View Elementary
The first week of Idaho State testing has gone
very well. The fifth grade has taken the Science
ISAT assessment. This week we begin the new SBAC
assessment for math and language arts.
In my opinion, this new testing will lead to
improved instructional practices.
Following this, we can get back to the regular
business of education ... and in the Spring this
is Project Based Learning! The Knowledge Fair is
the grand finale for the third, fourth and fifth
grade students.
The third grade students learn and share
information about different countries, the
fourth grade teaches us about the Great State of
Idaho and the fifth grade peaks our curiosity!
This all comes together on May 22 in the Valley
View gymnasium. Throughout the school day,
projects will be set up. Students research a
project of their choice and explain what they
have learned to others — this is the basis of
any strong educational program!
These projects and experiments will be available
for public view throughout the day and into the
evening. As we appreciate the student work, a
free dinner will be served and the Dessert
Auction will be held. Student entertainment is
also provided.
All this and more on Thursday, May 22! The week
long PTO Book Fair (buy one, get one free) will
end on this day. If you are not there, you are
missing out!
Final Notes:
On April 24 “Gear Up” will host an evening of
“Food, Fitness & Fun” in the MS from 5 to 7 p.m.
This is open to the community!
The Lions’ Club Easter Egg Hunt will be held at
the Boundary County Fairgrounds on Saturday,
April 19, at 11 a.m.
Kindergarten Registration for Valley View will
be held on Friday, May 9, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Children must be five years old by September 1.
Please bring the birth certificate, immunization
records and your child!
