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).

Your Board Members

2026-2027

You’ll usually find her with an iced tea in hand, soaking up the sunshine on a hike, or just enjoying the little things in life. Whether it’s cheering on the Wildcats or planning the next school event, she is all about staying connected and making memories.
