I would like to welcome all visitors to our website. In order for this website to serve as a source of information to you as a parent and patron of the West Valley School District, we need your feedback. Please take the time to provide feedback when you feel as though you are being served appropriately and of course when you feel as though you are not being served appropriately.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors and the staff of West Valley School District for placing their trust in me to serve as Superintendent of Schools. I have spent some time throughout West Valley taking the time to visit schools, and most importantly, listening to people. I am inviting anyone who would like to stop by and visit with me to contact the West Valley School District office at 972-6005 to set up a time when I can make myself available to you. I believe it is critical as the superintendent to be visible, engaged, and caring in every effort of reaching out to the community.

My visits throughout our schools have resulted in meeting positive, committed staff members who are here to serve our students. I want you to know that this is impressive in light of the continued round of cutbacks that we have received from the State for the past several years. It seems as though all of the news we receive continues to deal with projected revenue shortfalls and eventually reduced funding to K-12.

In light of the challenges we face, we will remain positive and committed to providing the best possible education for the children of West Valley School District. The focus on providing this opportunity for our children begins with the emphasis on quality classroom instruction. We will continue to provide quality professional development for our teachers as well as instructional supervision techniques for our administrators in order to best ensure that our students are receiving quality instruction. Supporting quality classroom instruction requires a commitment from many people - custodians, bus drivers, para educators, secretaries, facilities, and food service staff to name a few. I can assure you that all of us are going to work diligently to provide the best possible opportunity for our West Valley kids.
