Welcome to Mission Valley Elementary School and the 2010-2011 school year. I hope you had a restful, relaxing summer with your children and our ready to begin another adventure with us beginning Thursday, August 12^th. One of my goals as principal is to build a community atmosphere at Mission Valley and in order to accomplish this it will take all staff, students, parents, guardians and family members working together and communicating, especially since we will be over 950 students this school year.

            Mrs. Smith and I will be back together at Mission Valley’s campus Friday, July 30^th.   Feel free to contact us at 685-7396 if you have any questions about the upcoming school year. On Wednesday, August 11, 2010 we will be having our meet and greet your teacher and classroom visitations from 2:45-3:30 PM.  Class lists will be posted at this time. Then on Thursday, August 12, 2010 we will open the 2010-2011 school year when the first bell of the year rings at 8:15 A.M.  

Remember, Mission Valley is a Character Counts! where all six pillars of character (Respect, Citizenship, Caring, Responsibility, Fairness and Trustworthiness) are modeled and followed each and every day. I am looking forward to working together with you in making this school year the very best for your student.
