Parenting and educating today’s students, while demanding, is undoubtedly, one of life’s most important pursuits. The Valley Central School District seeks to support our families and community members through Parent University, with resources and free, informative programs through Parent Circle, and community forums such as VC 21.
Parent University recognizes that behind each successful student are supportive families, teachers, school staff and community members who take an active role in educating all of our students. No matter what your role, Parent University encourages involvement and participation in the education of the community’s students.
Second Cup of Coffee
A Second Cup of Coffee is an opportunity for members of the VC community to meet with district administrators in an informal setting to discuss any questions, suggestions or offer feedback about district matters. This is a rotating event throughout the year, typically during school drop-off times as part of the district’s effort to facilitate ongoing discussion between our administration team and the greater VC community. Dates are announced on our website and Facebook page. These opportunities will return when it has been deemed safe for us to resume them.
VC21 meetings
VC21 is an open community conversation about the Valley Central School District and the Educational Future of our Students. VC21 meetings are held throughout the school year to encourage community input about what is being taught at Valley Central. Meetings dates and times are posted on our website news and social media.
Racial and Social Equity Committee
This purpose of the Racial and Social Equity Committee is to better understand and respond to the issues of racism and social equity that exist in society and at Valley Central. We empathize with the community and condemn hatred, injustice, and destruction at all levels. The Valley Central School District seeks to engage with one another and collaboratively design learning environments that will be liberating for all.
Social-Emotional Learning
Valley Central is using the Yale RULER program to help students assess, understand, and respond to their state of emotions as it affects their daily life including the learning process. Social-Emotional Learning is partnered with the curriculum to give students a more well-rounded education.
