Digital Box Tops

All you need is your phone! Download the Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then use the app to scan your store receipt within 14 days of purchase. The app will identify Box Tops products on your receipt and automatically credit our school's earnings online. Twice a year, our school will receive a check and can use that cash to buy whatever we need! Get more info at https://www.boxtops4education.com

Valley Elementary’s Scholastic Book Fair is next week! Students will visit during their library time and the fair will be open to families for one hour after school each day.

Volunteers are needed to make the book fair happen! Sign up here and note if you can only make part of the shift. We'd love to have you!

We are collecting donations and asking families to round up on their purchases at our upcoming book fair, to support our Share the Fair Campaign so that all students in our school can experience BookJoy. The money raised will go towards vouchers for some of our students in need and any remaining funds will be used to stock our school library.

Hello Valley families,

I’m Monica Landeros the 2024-2025 PTA president. This year marks my 11th year as a Valley Elementary parent and 2nd as PTA President. During my time here at Valley, I have been a PTA member, committee chair, and board member. I am a proud mother of three amazing children. My oldest son is a freshman at Poway High, my middle daughter is a 7th grader at Meadowbrook Middle School and my youngest son is a 3rd grader at Valley. I also work part-time as an instructional assistant and substitute teacher for the agriculture department at Poway High. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your leader and I vow to do my best!
