Dear Families,

Election Day is coming up on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

If you need to register to vote or have recently moved, visit www.Vote.WA.gov to get started. You can also use the website to check your voter registration status, update your address, and find ballot drop box locations.

We encourage all eligible voters to participate in the upcoming election and make their voices heard.

Just a reminder to families to PLEASE check your child's backpack each day! Timely homework assignments, flyers and other information often comes home in backpacks. Don't be caught by surprise by checking that backpack!

Also, if you have an email on file with the school, PLEASE check your email daily for any notices that may come from the district, school or teacher. Electronic mail is a safe and reliable means of communication from the schools to families. If you don't have an email on file, please add one to your child's Skyward account by calling the school secretaries at (360) 575-7581.

Just a reminder that students should not be bringing any toys, squishes, Legos, Pokemon cards, stuffies, etc. from home unless it's a day where they bring a stuffed animal or something where they pay Milo Bucks towards that opportunity. Let's keep special toys at home, please!

Please, please PLEASE mark your child's name on their belongings! We keep lost and found in the office for a month waiting for their owner to return to them, but without a name on items, they eventually will be donated.

🕜 Please note that during the last 15 minutes of the school day, we kindly ask that parents refrain from picking up students from the front office or calling in changes to a student's transportation. This period of the day tends to be very busy for the secretaries, teachers and specialists with dismissal procedures, and limiting pickups and changes at this time helps ensure the safety and smooth operation of our dismissal process. Thank you for your understanding.

🐶 Just a reminder that NO PETS are allowed on school grounds except for service animals. This includes pickup at the front gate and those animals on leashes or carried. For the safety of all, please leave pets at home or in your car during pick up and drop off.

📣 GO MUSTANGS!!! Mint Valley Spirit Wear is available at www.mintvalley.spiritweardirect.com. Lots of styles and colors to choose from and the product is shipped directly to you!

Are you wanting to be more involved at the school this year? We are ALWAYS looking for great volunteers to help in classrooms or assist in projects that make Mint Valley special! Your volunteering can look like as much as an hour every week or as little as 15 minutes for a one-time event--WHATEVER works for you!!! We email approved volunteers when we have a need for help and each person decides whether or not it will work for them and their schedule. No pressure or commitment! To comply with the district and state, there are a few requirements to complete. You can find the CHAMPS application at the link below. The entire application is all ONLINE. Once complete, you will be notified directly by the school district of your approval, a badge will be sent to the school and your email will be shared for volunteer opportunities. Our Volunteer Coordinator is Terri Troy and her phone is 360-575-7599. Please call with any questions!
