Good afternoon Valley Inquiry Families,
New and returning staff gathered today for our first day of in-service training. We are beginning to connect and build relationships that will give us a strong foundation for a positive year. We can't wait to welcome students and families to this community as well!
Popsicle Pop-in:
We have a special event next Tuesday evening, 8/27, from 5:00-6:30 pm. We will be having a Popsicle Pop-in in the covered area by the playground. This will be a chance to meet our new and returning staff (and to see our freshly paved parking lot).
PTC Appreciation:
We wanted to thank the Parent Teacher Club (PTC) for their kindness in decorating the doors of each classroom/office to welcome our staff and teachers. Staff appreciated the inviting gesture!
PE Teacher Announcement:
Also, I wanted to let you know that due to some unforeseen circumstances, our PE position became vacant again late last week. Having a staffing change so late in the summer was unexpected. Miguel Ponce shared with me that he was interested in the PE position, and after conversations and consideration, I am excited to announce that Mr. Ponce has accepted the PE position. He is eager to return to VICS in a new role and continue working with our incredible students.
Here is a message from Mr. Ponce:
Good afternoon Valley Inquiry Parents,
I'm thrilled to start the new school year as your new PE teacher at Valley Inquiry! I'm genuinely excited to bring energy and enthusiasm to our physical education program. I aim to create a fun and supportive environment where your kids can explore new activities, develop their physical skills, and learn the value of teamwork and perseverance. I'm looking forward to a year filled with growth, laughter, and fitness adventures! See you soon, Cheetahs!!
Best regards,
Mr. Ponce
