Hello Mill Valley Families,
Dream big, sparkle more and shine bright! Those who know me well, know that I love everything that sparkles and shines. One of the Mill Valley teachers found this t-shirt for me and I just couldn't wait to wear it. I truly believe that as educators it is our job to help students reach their dreams and while doing so, light that inner spark that fuels their love of learning. We must do everything we can to help students excel and shine bright not only as learners, but also as friends and members of our school community.
Keep on sparkling and don't let anyone dull your sparkle.
Sincerely,
Robin Schrot, Principal
Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

Request for Tier 1 Learning Environment Change
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
For the next trimester at the elementary level, parents/guardians have the option of switching their child(ren)'s learning environment from virtual to in-person, or vice versa. Only families interested in switching their child's learning environment need to complete this form. Please review the COVID-19 Reentry Planning documents and Learning Plans on the district website (https://www.muskegonorway.org/about/mns-learning-plans.cfm) and consult as a family regarding the intent to switch your child(ren)'s learning environment prior to completing THIS FORM. By filling this form out, you will be emailed a survey retake link, within one business day, which allows you to retake the August 2020 survey with your new selection. The form and survey will need to be completed by NOON ON NOVEMBER 5, 2020. Again, there is no need to complete this form if parents are interested in having their elementary child(ren) remain in his/her current learning environment.
If you have a student in middle or high school, more information will be coming via those respective school's newsletters, later in November.
Thank you.
