Dear Midvalley Families –

This was a fun and fast week. Jr. Huskies transitioned well to being back the classroom. You could feel the excitement from everyone of being back in school! Thank you for sending your child to school with winter weather gear. Reach out to Ms. Wendy Heath should your child need a coat. On Friday, we had the students take class pictures on the stairs with their Midvalley Jr. Husky gear. They looked really good!

This is the place to be!

Go Jr. Huskies!

Jr. Husky Success…Nothing Less!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Attendance Matters
We hope you all enjoyed a safe and lovely Winter Break. As we look toward a new and exciting year, we hope you can join us in a renewed effort and focus on having our Jr. Huskies at their desks ready to learn each day. Research has shown us that even missing two days a month in elementary school can put your child at great risk of not graduating from High School. Our teachers are ready and excited to continue their efforts in moving your child forward academically. We miss our Jr. Huskies when they are away!

Please visit our website or contact the office, if you have further questions regarding attendance policies or have individual circumstances you would like to discuss.
