Principal's Message

Good Afternoon, 

 

Today is officially "Ms. Tracy Day!" The Valle Verde Community showered Ms. Tracy with admiration, love, and respect for the work that she does right here at Valle Verde Elementary. It is hard to visualize what it would be like without her, so instead, let's show her everything we've learned and be the best we can be! The day was one for the books! Now that all the celebrations are winding down, let me take a moment to express my appreciation for your full support of our programs at Valle Verde! We can not do what we do for students without each other! You are intentional about supporting all areas, including teaching and learning, social-emotional support, PTA, and school-sponsored events. I hope to see you around as we count down the final 6 days of school! Enjoy Memorial Day and remember to highlight what it is all about. The link attached will support conversations at home, and most details are covered in student-friendly language.  Happy Memorial Day! 

 

If you registered for summer school at Woodside Elementary, our students are on the waitlist. You will be contacted when space becomes available. Please let me know if you have additional questions. 

Thank you. 

Mignon Perkins 

 

 

News of the week:

Ms. Tracy Day

Where do I even begin? I don’t know if I can properly thank everyone enough for this amazing day. I feel immense gratitude for all the love that was bestowed upon me today. This will not be my final message, and I will have more parting words in my farewell message to you all, but today was the best day ever! A special thank you to the PTA Hospitality Committee, Lainey and Megan, for planning this amazing day, providing lunch for the staff, my tiara and sash, the parades, and the coin drive for the charity that means so much to me, Beagle Freedom Project. For those who don’t know, I have 3 beagles that were all rescued from this amazing organization. They rescue beagles that were previously used for animal testing and find them loving homes to spend the rest of their lives being spoiled and loved as all dogs should. We will leave the coin jar out for the next week to collect any other donations and then I will happily share the grand total when we count it all and donate it. I know some of our students brought money from their piggy banks and wallets, and that just means the world to me. I can’t wait to read all the cards that they gave me and I have to say that we have many talented artists at our school. I saw lots of Snoopy, Anxiety, and beagle drawings which are my favorite things. Thank you so much to Mrs. Perkins, Ms. Ellie, Ms. Sandy, and Ms. Cyndy for all they did to keep this day a secret and make it extra special for me. I adore this community, and I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Ms. Tracy

Parking & Pick up / Drop Off

As we are getting towards the end of the school year, we are seeing lots of people getting more complacent with our safety rules. We would like to remind you that we have procedures in place to keep all our students safe. Please follow these rules: 

• You may not pull in the bus circle or the staff lot by the office to pick up or drop off your child. This is at all times, even if you are coming in the middle of the day to pick up your child early or to drop them off after an appointment. If it is not during pick up/drop off times, you may park on the street and walk to the office. 
• You may not u-turn on Peachwillow. You must circle around on one of the side streets. 
• You may not double park to drop off/pick up your child. If there is no space in the carline, drive around and try again. 
• Never let your child out on the street side. Always let them out on the sidewalk side please. 
• Do not jaywalk across the street. Please use the crossing guard. 

We would really appreciate your support with this. Thank you.
