Dear Spring Valley Students, Parents and Community Members: We are excited to announce the beginning of the construction for our new roof and HVAC systems! As with any remodeling or construction, there will be some changes and adjustments. We have made a plan that we hope will make sense and plan for possible issues in the safest way possible. With any plan, adjustments may be required and we would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation. These new procedures will begin upon our return from Christmas Break on January 3, 2019. Even if you do not see immediate construction materials, the preparation and planning will begin during the break, so it is important to begin the changes immediately upon our return. Merry Christmas and thank you for your tolerance and help! -Tammy Forbush, Principal All student and parent traffic will enter at the small Student Lot gate and immediately turn left.
