Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Ore Valley! I hope that you have enjoyed your summer vacation. It is with great joy that I serve as principal to a wonderful school community of 577 students, 65 staff members, and over 1,000 parents. We are fortunate to have so many new faces join our community for the 2020-2021 school year, and I hope that they are welcomed with open arms and smiles.

Great things are happening at Ore Valley! Our vision is simple, “Inspiring and creating pathways for student success by Making a Difference every day!” and our belief is that we must focus on five essential areas – meeting our students’ needs academically (how they learn), behaviorally (how they act), emotionally (how they feel), socially (how they interact), and “spiritually” (how they connect). Our goal is to “Make a Difference” in every child’s life by developing their strengths, meeting their needs, and fostering their well-beings. Ore Valley is an excellent place to learn, and we are blessed to have an outstanding staff. Our teachers and staff members are professionals who are dedicated to doing what is best for your child.

Throughout this school year, please feel free to contact me with any concerns or successes. Also, please stay connected through Twitter @OreValleyES.

Sincerely,
