2013-14 Valley View classes start Aug. 16 By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
S
ummer ends early this year for the students of Valley View School District with its students headed back to school for a full day Friday, Aug. 16. Students were already registering last week and dropping off school supplies at meet and greets at their respective schools this week. For those in extra-curricular activities, students were involved at the beginning of August. Last fall, the school district approved the 2013-14 school year calendar which features the earlier start to the school year that will enable the district to end the first semester prior to Winter Break. The earlier start will mean an earlier finish as well (May 27), provided there are no snow days. Superintendent James Mitchem also delivered the philosophy for the school year in a message to more than 100 people at New Teacher Orientation last week:

kids first. “Working in Valley View is going to be tough. Failure is not an option,” he said. “We expect to not only be the best school district in the state, but also one of the best districts in the country.” Mitchem, in a press release, detailed Valley View’s “The New View: A Design Change,” which has been the district’s blueprint for two years. “Nothing happens in this district without the core belief that every child is capable of meeting or exceeding minimum requirements for proficiency when given the
proper supports,” he said.“Our kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” The superintendent spoke of changes that have brought, among many other things, a more rigorous curriculum, teachers that are facilitators of instruction, and a daily assessment system designed to make sure each child is progressing academically, socially, and emotionally. “Every single child must be prepared to make a decision on going to college and for entering a post education career.”
