AR Challenge

Reading is extremely important in the lives of 2016/2017 1st-3rd Six Weeks
our students and in the success of our district.
It is the one subject that extends into all the AR Points By Campus
other subject areas. In an effort to promote
reading, the district has undertaken the Accel-
erated Reader (AR) STAR Challenge. Through
student and teacher incentives and staff com-
petition, we improved performance in our AR
program. The word is out to read, read, read!!
Top AR students for the district are taken to
Main Event for lunch and to play laser tag,
gravity ropes, and bowling along with a $20
shopping spree at our local Walmart.

Beautification of the District
5th Grade Campus/Junior High Roads: Our Maintenance Department has been working hard
to construct the 5th Grade Campus and Junior High roads behind each campus. This assists in the
student drop-offs at each of these campuses and provides an easy access to the entrances and exits
of the campuses for our parents.
5th Grade Campus Student Area: The 5th Grade Campus is our oldest building. Preserving our Valley
View history and promoting Tiger pride is critical in instilling pride, an ethic
of hard work, and character in our students.
SUCCESS, NOTHING LESS 3
Electronic Marquee Initiative: Each campus and department, with
the assistance of our Board of Trustees and PTOs, is fundraising to buy
electronic marquees. The marquees at each campus and central office
will enhance district and community communication by keeping stu-
dents and parents informed of upcoming events, deadlines, and the
latest district news.
