Viking Families-----IT IS HERE---The Start of the 2023-2024 School Year!!! As all of you are aware the weather forecasted for the next couple days will continue to be excessively hot.
All students are permitted to have personal water bottles, however, we do ask that if your child rides the bus that they have a water bottle. Mission Valley will have bottles of water available for student riding the bus after school.
Parents/Guardians may also transport their child(ren) to and from school but need to follow the pick-up/drop off guidelines.
For morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups please feel free to use Bodark Rd, however, we ask that anyone visiting the school during the day enter the school facility at the main entrance as there will be construction vehicles utilizing Bodark Rd. throughout the day.
We are excited to get the year kicked off and are looking forward to seeing all the familiar and new faces tomorrow.

VIKING FAMILY---This morning at 9:16 a.m. information was released from local news media that Rural Water District #8 has issued a boil water advisory.
The school does receive water from RWD #8, however, the source of where the school receives its water is NOT the same source that is impacted.
I have spoken to representatives from RWD #8 and the WabCo Health Dept. and have been informed that the school is not in the impacted area and does not need to take any precautions or alter our daily operations.

Viking Family---It was with great honor that USD 330 Mission Valley staff were welcomed back on Tuesday morning by an instrumental leader of education in the state of Kansas. Mr. Dennis has served in a variety of education roles during his career which started in 1959. Mr. Dennis has worked as a classroom teacher, a school administrator, and in 1967 he took over as the School Finance Administrator for the State of Kansas and since then has served in a variety of positions (Assistant Commissioner of Education, Deputy Commissioner of Education, Interim Commissioner of Education, and since 2007 has served as the Deputy Commissioner of Education). Mr. Dennis is a "true friend" of students and education.
Mr. Dennis provided Viking Staff words of appreciation, encouragement and wisdom that can only be passed on from 60+ years serving the youth of Kansas.
GO VIKINGS!!!
Viking Family........Installation of the new OBERHELMAN FAMILY FIELD is almost complete.

We know there are many excited Vikings out there who are interested in getting out on the field and seeing it up-close first hand.....please continue to be patient as they finalize everything. Everyone is more than welcome to drive down Bodark Rd and take a look at it, however we ask to use caution as there are many pieces of equipment along the road and in the football parking lot.
