Make sure to review the Parent FAQ document frequently where you will find answers to the most commonly asked questions during this time. Updates will be highlighted in blue throughout the upcoming weeks. Along with the Parent FAQ document, our student services staff have created a presentation to provide resources on how to help your children cope with mental health. You will find fact sheets as well as age specific information in the presentation.

We have noticed that social media and the news are filled with heartfelt stories about school parades and deliveries of surprises from teachers to student homes. We want to share a special note so that families understand why Mill Valley teachers have not yet done this for our school community. We have fielded many inquiries from our teachers and staff asking to do these very things to show their support to our families. These are very hard questions for us to answer because we would love to say, “Yes! That would be amazing!” It is important for you to know that we have consistently been asking our staff to refrain from visiting students’ homes or organizing a community parade that might result in potential crowding or travel that is not essential. Please know that we truly miss everyone so much. When the timing is right, we will be present and ready to celebrate our togetherness in a way that computer screens simply cannot replicate. We cannot wait for that day to come!

Sincerely,

Robin & Allyce

We can't believe it, but it is time to get geared up for our ABC Countdown! Feel free to join our MV kindergartners and have some fun! While we are sad that we can't do this all together in person, it is something fun to do at home! The official start date of the Countdown is May 5th!

If you are planning on moving, please contact the office at 262-971-1830 to let us know, as we are beginning to construct class lists for the 2020-2021 school year.
