It's time for Back to School!!!
Valentine Elementary School welcomes back all our students and families to our first day of school on Monday, July 27th.
Reminders: School opens at 7:30 am, the front gate closes at 8:00 am and classes begin. Students who arrive right at or after 8:00 am must be escorted into the office by an adult to sign the student into school. A student entering the school late without an adult to sign the student in is a violation of attendance exception policies and procedures.
PARKING & DROP OFF ZONE
The drop off zone is in front of the temporary campus buildings. If students exit from the passenger side, they should be able to walk straight into the campus without crossing in front of other cars that are also dropping off students. DO NOT PARK IN THE DROP OFF ZONE.
We have a few parking spots in front of the school, but the main parking lot is still at Music Mountain Bible Chapel. If you are signing students in or out, park there, and then come into the office.
DO NOT PARK ALONG THE CHAINLINK FENCES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SCHOOL ZONE.
BUS STOPS & PICKING STUDENTS UP
School dismissal begins at 3:20 pm. Be at school before this time if you are picking a student up from the school. Stay in your car in the Pick Up Zone - DO NOT PARK IN THE PICK UP ZONE.
If you are changing a student's transportation from riding the bus to being picked up, you must call the office to make this change before 2:00 pm. All staff members, including office staff, are unavailable to make transportation changes between 2:00 pm - 3:20 pm. Afternoon transportation rosters are printed for teachers and drivers at 2:00 pm and all staff are assisting with preparations for afternoon dismissal.
Students are only permitted one bus stop designation. Any request to change a bus stop must be filled out on the Bus Stop Change Form at least one day before the change is requested to go into effect. Bus Stop Change Forms are available in the office and on the school website, www.valentineaz.net.
If you have questions or need further information, contact the school office at 928-769-2310.
