First and foremost, a big thank you for supporting the District Maintenance and Operations Levy! On behalf of my students and staff, I offer sincere appreciation and I applaud the community commitment to the children of Boundary County.

Now, the next part is this: Hold US TO IT!

The Vision posted by the Idaho State Department of Education is to “Establish an innovative and flexible education system that focuses on results, inspires all students and prepares them to be successful in meeting today's challenges and tomorrow's opportunities.”

Here at Valley View, we have dedicated staff working to make this goal a reality.

With open and honest support from the home, we will provide an academic program that leads to future success for all our students. If we work well together, your children will excel!

As for the on-going problem which has caused evacuations and an early closure; we need to stick together!

I am a firm believer things work out for the best.

The individuals who are causing these disruptions will come to justice; this will have a profound effect on their life.

Unfortunately, the young children of our district have been affected by these thoughtless acts.

Please rest assured that our staff will take every precaution to provide a safe, civil and productive environment for your children. I do sincerely believe our schools are safe. If my two boys were still in school (and I wish they were) I would send them to any BCSD program with a clear conscience.

Wednesday was the first day of spring and it entered like a typical spring day in the Rockies. Please keep in mind the weather conditions when you send your child to school.

We will continue to enjoy outdoor recess unless the conditions become extreme. Speaking of jackets, hats and coats ... it is still best not to share these items; you know why!

A few student highlights: Katie Clairmont and Chase Tucker will head down to Coeur d’Alene this weekend to compete in the Regional Spelling Bee. Anna Bliss will head to Rexburg to compete in the Idaho State Geography Bee.

Congratulations and good luck students!

Upcoming Events:

4/1-4 Spring Break—Classes resume April 8. Over Break: READ, READ, AND READ SOME MORE!

Please continue to collect and save aluminum cans. We will have a contest in May to see which class and person can bring in the most cans. When we recycle the cans, the proceeds go to the ski scholarship fund, which benefits all fourth and fifth grade participants in the school ski program.
