A Message from Our Principal
Dear Families,
Here at Western Valley Elementary, our school community values a high-quality education, collaboration to help us continue to improve our teaching, connecting with families, and ensuring our students are prepared for college and careers of their choice. Problem-solving, critical thinking, and learning and growing together are skills that will help our students succeed throughout their lives, and they will practice these skills at Western Valley Elementary School.
Positive relationships with caring adults are critical to helping students grow into kind and compassionate adults, so here at Western Valley Elementary, we believe in the principles of Kids at Hope, that all children are capable of success, no exceptions!
My door is always open to you if there is anything I can do to help your child.
Partners in education,
Jennifer Quirk
