Vista del Valle

At Vista del Valle we inspire a community of leaders and learners to achieve their highest potential in an academically rigorous and joyful learning environment that celebrates our cultural diversity.

Principal's Message

Dear Vista Families,


I would like to take on our next challenge: The Vista December School Wide Attendance Challenge! Be sure to have your child come to school, on-time daily! If we earn a 90% attendance rate for December, we will have music at recess. Earning a 95% or better, students receive a goodie that is voted on by the student body AND music at recess!! Weekly attendance trophies are still being announced and distributed to classrooms.


Be sure to save the date. Our Annual Winter Sing is scheduled for Wednesday, December 20th at 6:30pm (more information to follow). Also, our library is open to parents and students each Wednesday from 1:00-1:30pm. Students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Have a fantastic weekend!


Warmly,


Mrs. Nuanes

School Parking

Several of our entry/dismissal points are on Vista Drive so plan ahead for early arrival and morning school traffic. The staff parking lot will be closed. There will be no entry/exit to the parking lot. Keep in mind that all white painted curbs are for student drop off and no parking will be allowed in those areas. Please be courteous to our neighbors by not blocking driveways and adhering to the posted speed limits. Claremont Police Department continually monitors the flow of traffic so please adhere to all posted signs.

iPad Insurance

During the first week of school, teachers will send out an iPad check out form. Please be sure to return this form as soon as possible. iPads will not be sent home until this form is returned to your classroom teacher. Enclosed is the iPad insurance form. For a nominal fee, you can insure your child's iPad for the entire school year.
