A lower student-to-staff ratio is vital for a safer school environment. During critical times like recess and lunch, staff members can closely monitor students. However, West Valley grapples with challenges due to our budget constraints. Maintaining the required 50:1 student-to-staff ratio for outside and lunch monitoring is crucial, but it’s become difficult due to lost staff positions. Currently, staff are often redirected from other essential areas—such as counselors, administrators, and classroom aides—to ensure we meet this necessary ratio. Let’s work together to prioritize safety!

Did you know that the last time West Valley School passed a levy was in 2007? That’s when the first iPhone came out, Blockbuster was alive, and MySpace was popular. A lot has changed in 17 years, but West Valley’s levy amounts have stayed the same. West Valley School District is proposing two levies: a Technology Levy and a General Fund Levy. Together, we can make a difference for our school and our community. To learn more about these levies, please visit the levy website at www.westvalleyschool.com/page/levy-information #westvalleylevies
