IMPORTANT PARENT/GUARDIAN SURVEY:
Please set aside some time (about 30 minutes) to complete the Valley View California School Parent Survey (CSPS) by October 31st. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps guide our school’s goals and priorities.
I review the survey results with our School Site Council, analyze the data from each question, and read every comment carefully. Your input truly shapes the direction of our school and supports our continuous improvement efforts.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and help us make Valley View the best it can be for all students!
