Principal’s Message Dear Valley Oak Families,
We are holding strong as we finish out 2022. As I am in classrooms, I am so impressed at our students’ drive and enthusiasm for learning. We also have some pretty amazing teachers that are working hard to meet the needs of all our students, while creating engaging lessons.
This week we are finally able to hold our annual holiday winter program. It has been two years since we have been able to hold this live with an audience! While we know our families celebrate a variety of holidays, we hope you will be able to join us for this inclusive event. The children have worked hard to show off their talents. �
Logistics for the evening will be to have your child arrive at their classroom 15 minutes prior to their performance time. ALL CHILDREN MUST BE PICKED UP AT THE CLASSROOM. Please do not pull your child from the stage or line as they walk back. Once your child is done performing, we ask that you leave the MPR so the next group of parents can come into the MPR to enjoy their child’s performance.
We appreciate your patience in enjoying this fun evening. Julie Duwe
