Principal's Message

Dear East Valley Families,
 
It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the 2025–26 school year at East Valley Elementary! Whether you are new to our school or returning for another year, I am honored to serve as your principal and to partner with you in your child’s educational journey.
 
Each school year brings fresh opportunities to grow, reflect, and build stronger connections. One of my primary goals this year is to strengthen our family-school partnerships. Together, we can create a safe, welcoming, and enriching environment where all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
 
Strong communication is the foundation of meaningful collaboration. We encourage you to take time to review our Family Handbook, Discipline Handbook, and the District Calendar, which outlines important dates and school-wide activities for the year. These resources, along with our school website at https://eastvalleyelementary.evsd90.org, are valuable tools to stay informed, engaged, and connected to what’s happening at East Valley Elementary.
 
Consistent attendance plays a critical role in student success. Each day of learning builds on the last, and regular attendance ensures students stay connected to their peers, teachers, and the learning process. We understand that occasional absences are unavoidable, but we ask for your partnership in prioritizing school attendance and making every day count. Together, we can help your child develop strong habits that will support their success now and in the future.
 
At East Valley Elementary, we take a proactive approach to behavior and school culture. We are guided by the principles of R.O.A.R.S.—Respect, Ownership, Attitude, Responsibility, and Safety. These traits shape the way we learn and interact with one another, and we invite you to reinforce these values at home as well. By working together, we can build a school climate where everyone feels safe, supported, and respected.
 
We deeply value the role of families in student success. Our PTO and volunteers play a vital role in enriching school life, and we welcome your ideas, your time, and your voice. If you haven’t yet had a chance to get involved, this year is a perfect time to start!
 
If you ever have questions, concerns, or simply want to connect, please feel free to stop by or call the office at 573-7620. I look forward to partnering with you and watching your child grow and shine this year.
Thank you for your continued support.
 
Sincerely,
 
Mary Bowman

School Safety Alert - 5-2-25

Late last night we were contacted by local authorities stating they had received word of a credible threat towards East Valley Central MS. The threat was tracked back to two East Valley School District students who are siblings. Moxee Police Department immediately made contact with these two students to investigate and address the threat.

Working closely with local authorities, the East Valley School District responded by ensuring the safety of our students and staff by excluding those students from our schools according to our discipline policies and procedures. Police presence will be increased while local authorities continue the investigation.

The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority and we are committed to taking every precaution to ensure a secure learning environment. As always, we encourage our school community to follow the principle: If you see something, say something.
