Valhalla Elementary School is a neighborhood school with a strong family focus. We are committed to providing outstanding learning opportunities and preparing students for success in school and in life. Parents are partners in our vision and share school leadership for a strong academic program in a safe, caring environment. Valhalla learners are proud and confident readers and writers. A balanced literacy program is supported by phonics and skills and an emphasis on reading and writing.
Students write every day, know and use the writing process, and share their ideas in many ways.
Computers and Internet access in every classroom, and in the library support student research and writing. We recognize and celebrate the importance of the arts in a child's life. A school-wide determination to improve the reading skills and test scores has been supported by staff development and increased parent involvement. Small group, large group and individual instruction is delivered to maximize student achievement. Tutoring programs on and off site have been offered as opportunities and the expectation is that all Valhalla students will be supported in reading at least twenty minutes each day outside of school.
