Who We Are
Who is part of the FFO?
As a parent or guardian of a student at Valley View, you are automatically a member! All families and staff members are part of the FFO.
We would love to have you join us during our monthly board meetings which are scheduled for 9:00 am on every 2nd Friday of the month (except in October).
