📚🚌 Welcome Back -- First Day of School Expectations

 

 

Welcome Back Falcons,

 

On behalf of the entire Venetia Valley staff I want to tell you how excited we are to welcome you all to our campus on Augsut 20th. I hope that your summer was full of fun adventures, quality family time, and hopefully everyone was able to recharge for the new school year ahead. Now it is learning time!

 

Here is some information which will enable your students to be successful at Venetia Valley.

 

Attendance

Venetia Valley will be making positive attendance growth a central pillar of the 25/26 school year. This means that we will expect students to be at school every day, that they are in their seats on time, and they’re  ready to learn. Venetia Valley will continue to open our Main and rear (MS) gates at 8:30 am for students to enter. As has been our practice, at  9 am, these gates will close and all student traffic must enter campus through the main office so we can be sure that late students are properly accounted for. . We will continue to  open the MPR at 8 am daily to supervise students who are dropped off early. We do not offer any supervision prior to 8am.

 

We will begin calling families of absent students at 9:20 am every school day.. This is a change of practice that we hope will help support families and build stronger relationships with students. Students  cannot learn if they are not in school, and we want to support families to build positive attendance habits. If there is anything we can do to help your student improve their attendance, please let us know.

 

What to Expect Tomorrow

Staff will be all-hands-on-deck to welcome students and guide everyone to their lines/classrooms. Elementary students will have lines on the blacktop where they will meet before walking to class. All middle school students should grab a new schedule from the tables located behind the library. Most schedules have changed and it is important that you go to the correct class 1st period. 

 

Wednesday is an early release day; Venetia Valley students will be released at 1:45pm.
