Our School

Located in southwestern Phoenix, Western Valley Elementary School is a safe place where we value the gifts children have to offer and promote their limitless capacity for learning.

Our Mission

At WVE we guide learners to reflect, communicate, and grow, to strengthen ourselves and our community.

Our Vision

WVE will engage learners through a growth mindset to reach their potential while being held accountable to their role within the community.

Our Core Values

WVE is a place where everyone believes students can learn and grow as individuals. Effort is valued, teaching is intentional, progress is shared, and ideas are welcomed.

Student Safety

The safety of our students is our first priority. We provide playground supervision from 7:50 to 8:15 a.m. and during recess. Please make sure your children do not arrive on campus before 7:50 a.m. or stay later than 3:15 p.m. unless they are participating in an after-school activity.

Attendance & Tardiness

If your child will be absent or late to school, please notify us by calling the school attendance line at 623-707-2100 no later than 8:00 a.m. on the day of the occurrence.

Good attendance and being on time daily is very important for academic success. We understand that at times emergencies or situations may arise that cause your child to be absent or tardy. Excessive absences (10 or more days) or tardies could jeopardize your child’s grade-level advancement or cause them to lose their spot in the preschool program.

Kids at Hope

We are a Kids at Hope School, committed to the belief that all children are capable of success—no exceptions! At our school, all adults are treasure hunters, and every child is a time traveler. Treasure hunters search for the skills, talents, and intelligence in all children and youth. Time travel is the ability to envision one’s future in home and family, education and career, community and service, and hobbies and recreation and then create a plan to develop the skills needed to successfully reach life’s destination points.
