I am very pleased to inform you about our wonderful school. We have a wooden framed two-story building with 250 students from grade primary to 4. We are located about 10 minutes outside Truro, a small town of which we are a subdivision. The one thing that anybody who has been new to our school community has consistently said about Valley is that they were made to feel welcomed and part of the community right away.
Our staff of 18 consists of 1 principal, 11 classroom teachers, 1 full time Learning Centre support teacher, 1 half time music and 1 half time physical education teacher, 1 teaching assistant, 1 full time secretary, and 2 custodians. Together we make up the staff of Valley Elementary and would be thrilled to have Korean students join us.
We have a very active Home and School Association, which provides many programs for our students that we would otherwise not have. Our library is administered by volunteers, as is the safe arrival program. Nutrition is an important issue so the home and school association provide free apples to all students all year long. Parents are involved in volunteering in classrooms to help in many activities and all of this makes Valley Elementary a special place.
There are many aspects of Valley Elementary which make it a special place to go to school. Our school Motto is Valley is a Fair Play School. The entire staff is caring and strives to maintain our Fair Play approach both in the classroom and during after school activities. Our teaching strategies and attention to academic detail assure that our students receive a quality education. The support from parents for our efforts is communicated to the staff regularly so we feel valued. The concern for others that I see demonstrated by the families here in Valley makes me confident that your students would enjoy their time in such a caring environment.
If I can be of any assistance to you in your selection of a school to attend here in Nova Scotia please contact me by phone (902) 896-5540; fax (902) 896-5544 or email.
Wishing you well in your school selection!
