Valley's Beach Town Blurb 08.2.23

August 2, 2023

Good Afternoon Hermosa Valley Students and Families,

I hope you are all thoroughly enjoying your break together! Summer is a great time to reconnect with family and friends, refresh your body and mind, take some time to focus on things you like, or discover something entirely new. I hope you have found some great books to read along the way and are engaging in daily reading (for at least fifteen minutes each day). Experts agree that this small commitment can lead to substantial positive gains in reading achievement and is a strong indicator of future academic success. Check out our Middle School Summer Reading Lists and information from your teachers HERE.

As you begin to prepare for your return, remember to reference the HVS School Supply Lists HERE! For those who purchased the First Day School Supplies for an incoming 5th grader, HVPTO will deliver them directly to the student.

We are quickly approaching Middle School Registration, which is taking place on Friday, August 18th, from 9:00am-12:00pm.

Before we discuss details surrounding this day, please take a moment to ensure you have completed the Returning Student Registration HERE.

While we hope many of our students can make it on the 18th, we fully understand that some may not be able to attend. If you can't make it to Registration, swing by campus on the 23rd, and we will get you all set up with what you need to start school. Can't make it then? We will be happy to help on day 1 of school.
