Staying Connected with Valley Christian

Historic Day for Arizona Families

Yesterday was a historic day for students and families in Arizona. Governor Ducey signed a bill making our state the national leader in educational freedom and school choice. An inspiring event, we are thankful to all who worked so hard to make the day possible.

We truly believe that families should have the ability to choose a school - public, private, charter, homeschool, etc. - that best fits their child's educational needs. We also believe that we should fund students, not systems. This legislation empowers families to make those decisions.

As anti-school choice groups rally to walk back this freedom and put this on the ballot, we encourage you to share your support for school choice with your friends and family and to not support any effort or sign any petition by Save Our Schools.

Parent University on August 27

Join us on Saturday, August 27 at The Bridge at Compass Christian Church for our Parent University event.

Screenagers shows how technology is impacting our youth today and offers solutions on how we can empower youth to help best navigate the digital world. An expert panel will answer questions from the audience after the screening.

Jr. High Parent Information

The junior high hosted a parent information seminar this past Wednesday. The focus of this event was to give information to our parents about Renweb, Canvas, and other school related questions.

Each teacher on the junior high campus had a repository of different “commonly asked questions”. The team took the questions, collaborated, and created the presentation for the parents.

If you missed this meeting, don’t worry, our junior high staff will send out a PDF of the PowerPoint presentation.

It has been a great start to the school year. We are nearly at full to capacity, and the students have been great. We now have the opportunity to even equip more culture changers for Christ. We are looking forward to working with all these fantastic students this year.

Jr. High Office Information

Our junior high office has moved locations on campus. When you enter through the gate, go immediately into the door on your left. It is labeled as “office” on the window.
