Congratulations to first grade for winning in December! We start another campus wide challenge this month.
Excused absences (independent study contracts, for example) count towards chronic absenteeism. Being absent for 10% or more of the school year (18 days) is considered chronic by the State of CA.
School attendance = Access to education.
Congratulations, again, to all of the awardees!

Valley View Elementary Annual
Dinner with a Scientist
Tuesday March 3, 2026
Valley View Library (5:15pm Check-in)
Event: 5:15pm-7:30pm
Is your 3rd-5th grade child interested in science? Does your child love to conduct scientific experiments? Here is their opportunity to have dinner with a real scientist and perhaps spark their interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) careers.
In the past, our scientists have included engineers, doctors, geologists, airline pilots, entomologists, and scientists from Clorox, Sandia, LLNL and NASA. We hope that this evening will give your child an opportunity to learn about the many different careers in science.
We will be ordering dinner and need an accurate count. Participation in Dinner with a Scientist doubled since we began a decade ago. The event is FREE but we are asking for an optional $15.00 donation to cover the cost of food. If you are able to donate, we would very much appreciate your help. No child will be excluded from this activity due to the lack of a donation.
Please reserve this date! If you would like your child to participate, please fill out the Google Form Registration link Click here by Saturday, January 31, 2026. If your child plans to participate, and you can help chaperone that evening, please indicate on the form. Please remind your child to attend this event with respectful manners.
Thank you,
Ms. Dyer and “Dinner with a Scientist” Coordinators
