Dear Parents, the safety of our students and staff is our district’s priority. As more and more reported cases of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) come to light it is critical that we set up additional preventive measures to minimize the risk of our students and staff becoming infected with the virus in a school setting. Only limited staff will report to work to complete critical functions such as maintenance, transportation, payroll, food service, police department and some instructional support staff. Instructional materials for students have already been created and will be offered to students in hard copies or through online platforms. Updates and how to receive these materials will be posted on our campus/district marquees, school messenger, campus/district web pages, and social media. During this emergency closure, teachers will work from home to provide additional assistance and instruction to our students. The health, safety, and well-being of our students, staff, and community remain the highest priority of Valley View ISD. On behalf of our Board of Trustees, we thank you for your understanding and continued support of these precautionary measures that have been taken to safeguard the health and safety of our students and staff.

The Texas Education Agency is closely monitoring media reports and information shared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding growing concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and is working closely with other Texas state agencies to prepare effective guidance for public school districts across Texas. Though the situation is changing rapidly, it’s important for school districts and community leaders to bear in mind how to prevent respiratory illnesses like the novel coronavirus. Based on the most currently available information, health officials are recommending local communities and schools take the same necessary steps to protect against coronavirus that we take to prevent the spread of illnesses such as the flu. All individuals are encouraged to: Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you’ve not already gotten one, a flu shot is encouraged. While these measures are simple, they work. TEA is in the process of developing guidance for districts in the unlikely event of an escalation of the virus. The Agency is in regular contact with the state’s 20 regional Education Service Centers (ESCs) across Texas, multiple school districts, and the University Interscholastic League (UIL). TEA is committed to ensuring that clear communication and guidance is provided to the state’s 1,200 school districts, so that misinformation does not spread and misplaced fears can be properly addressed. It’s worth noting that in recent weeks, TEA has worked closely with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to monitor the number of flu cases in communities across the state. This effort will increase statewide awareness. During this year’s flu season, upwards of 50 public schools in the state have temporarily closed due to high absenteeism among students and staff. These closures have also meant the cleaning and disinfecting of entire campuses to help prevent the ongoing spread of the flu. While there are a small but increasing number of reported cases of novel coronavirus in the United States, to date, there are no confirmed cases that originated in Texas. TEA encourages the use and promotion of verified sources of information about the flu and coronavirus. On the national level, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides “Guidance for School Administrators to Help Reduce the Spread of Seasonal Influenza in K-12 Schools” on its website (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/school/guidance.htm) and information on the rapidly changing coronavirus situation (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/about/index.html). On the state level, the Texas Department of State Health Services provides valuable information regarding the flu (https://www.dshs.texas.gov/flu/) and coronavirus (https://www.dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus/). DSHS continues to mobilize, prepare, and plan for ways to keep Texans safe as new information emerges. TEA will continue working closely with its interagency partners to ensure that school districts across Texas have access to and awareness of the most current and valuable information on the virus. The Agency’s paramount concern here is that districts, students, and parents remain informed and stay healthy and safe.

A huge CONGRATULATIONS goes out to our Mighty Valley View High School and ECC Mariachi "Sol De Oro" students and staff for their accomplishments at this past weekend's Texas Association of Mariachi Educators mariachi competition. We are extremely proud to announce that both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Mariachis will be advancing to the TAME State Competition that will be held in Seguin, TX on February 8, 2020. The Valley View ISD Mariachi program would like to thank all the teachers, and administration for supporting the Mariachi students. This is the 6th time in a row that the high school mariachi advances to the State Contest. TAME has just added the Junior Varsity category as an advancing category and our JV Mariachi will be the first to advance this year. A big 'thank you' goes out to our mariachi staff (Juan Lopez, Anhalie Farias, and Jose "Tony" Garcia) for always making the betterment of our students a priority and investing countless hours into this activity resulting in excellence. Once again, congratulations, and GO TIGERS!

We are very excited to announce that our Lady Tigers have jumped out to a 4-1 over all record after this past weekend's Weslaco Chick-fil-A Tournament of Champions; their hard work, dedication and commitment to this program is starting to pay off. The girls picked up some big wins against Pre-Season Ranked #1 McAllen Memorial (39-33), Sharyland (39 - 24), Weslaco East ( 56-32) and Progreso (64-21), their only loss came against Corpus Christi Tuloso Midway 69-60, TM finished 2nd place over all in Platinum Bracket. The motivation against McAllen Memorial was simple, their Coach had mentioned to Coach Martinez several times "I don't care if you coach or anyone ever goes to Valley View to coach, they will NEVER win in Basketball at Valley View" well, the Girls had something to say about that on Saturday 39 to 33! We would like to congratulate Coach Arnold Martinez and Assistant Coach Edgar Guerra for all their hard work and input that he has contributed to this program! Go Tigers!
