Fun Activities:

     Special activities for students include choir, instrumental music, safety patrol, chess club, a school-wide reading homework initiative that recognizes students who read 20 minutes every night, educational field trips, and extended learning opportunities (after-school tutoring). Regularly scheduled assemblies honor students for academic achievement, perfect attendance and special accomplishments. Artists-in-the-Schools assemblies are provided quarterly. Lunch-time club activities are offered, including newspaper club, mock-trial club, book club, drama club, and student council.

     The Columbus Public Schools curriculum directs instruction at Valleyview. Teachers plan together to provide effective instruction that is motivating to our students. Our curriculum is directly aligned with the State of Ohio standards. Computer access is available in each classroom and in the Library Learning Center. Students have opportunities to utilize selected software programs, as well as the Internet, to increase their opportunities for learning.

Mission Statement:

     "Each student is highly educated, prepared for leadership and service, and empowered for success as a citizen in a global community."

Vision Statement

     The Valleyview staff will provide quality instruction to insure that our students achieve yearly academic growth. The Valleyview staff will provide opportunities to inspire our students to become critical thinkers, to develop creativity, to become team players, to show sensitivity and caring toward others, and to become physically fit. We will motivate them to recognize their strengths in order to “pursue their potential” as they journey through a lifetime of learning.
