We have been cleared to return to school in Valleyview tomorrow, May 23. All Valleyview schools will be open and operating. We can't wait to see you all.

Unfortunately, there will be no school bus transportation available to or from Valleyview schools tomorrow. We understand everyone might not be able to make it in. We will let you know when transportation can resume.

Welcome home. As you settle back in, please don't hesitate to reach out to the school or the NGPS Wellness Team, if you need anything.
