Garden Valley Elementary

Another requirement of Schoolwide Title 1 schools is to communicate the level of achievement and academic growth of our students on each state academic assessment. These reports can be review on ND Insights https://insights.nd.gov/Education/School/5300730451 Since the 23-24 school year was the first year Garden Valley was a K-3 school and 3rd grade is the first grade that takes the NDSA, we did not have an ELA and math growth percentage. However, we will have this for the 24-25 school year as we are a K-4 school now. Rest assured, we are making great growth at Garden Valley Elementary School as we were notified that our elementary school had the highest percentage of the accountability pie of all the seven elementary schools in WBSD7. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gl5zyhdUcdoZ3oj0UB1wikBqyWHPu8cqkncNBrmMI6U/edit?usp=sharing

Staff Qualifications and Parents Right to Know Letter for Schoolwide Title 1 As a schoolwide Title 1 school one of the things we need to do each year is inform our families about the teachers and staff and their qualifications. Please see the link below or the images to access the Garden Valley Elementary School staff qualifications for the 24-25 school year. Since the writing of this letter, paraprofessional, Wendy Perezc, has her certification complete and all other paras are working on it this semester. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DwEC3q2ejfSUorMhq49rqtQ0JNLGXQ5_oABIm-XkXrc/edit?usp=sharing Also, as a schoolwide Title 1 school we need to inform you if any teacher has not yet completed the process for complying with ESSA requirements. Currently, our longterm substitute teacher in the library, Caylin Gadberry has taught your child for four or more consecutive weeks in library and media arts. She does have her substitute license in North Dakota. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11z8YIV_RAqNeqc8H1QKUYLszDqiu7R9ZSoBEDLVcnlo/edit?usp=sharing

Garden Valley will be holding our first Book Fair of the year on November 6-13th. The book fair will be open at Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday, November 7th ONLY due to a scheduling conflict. However, you are able to visit the library after school on the other days of the book fair (November 6, 7, 12, and 13. You can also shop by adding money to your child's/children's e-wallet. This way you do not need to send cash to school with your student. Thank you for supporting our book fair and helping us earn books for our library.

Families, Please note that all end of the day dismissal changes should be made with the office by 2:30pm to ensure we have a smooth transition at the end of the school day. We have 190 students that we need to be sure get home the right way and are not able to accommodate last minute changes due to playdates, sleepovers, etc. Thank you for you understanding and attention to this matter!

On Friday, October 4th WBSD#7 held the groundbreaking ceremony for the new elementary school that will open in fall of 2026. We had two students who were able to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, along with Mrs. Heser. Thank you for representing Garden Valley and the future of Williston.

The Coyote Foundation received a donation in memory of Carl HC Anderson. In following his wishes, 7 music teachers were blessed with extra money to help purchase much needed equipment for their classroom. Thank you to Carl HC Anderson and family for this amazing opportunity to help Williston's youth expand their music education.

The week of September 16-20 was Homecoming Week. The students enjoyed the themed dress ups days like pajama day, Camo day, class color day, Grizzly day, and Coyote day. On Grizzly Day the students were greeted in the carline by a huge inflatable grizzly bear. The students loved seeing Mrs. Heser dressed up as a Grizzly bear. 💚🐻💚🐻 On Thursday the paras and teachers had training in shifts so some classes were able to participate in outdoor stations like extra playground time, sidewalk chalk, a nature scavenger hunt, and a movie in the gym. Lots of snakes were spotted on the nature walk.

On Friday, October 4th we had our first full Grizzly Gathering of the year. We celebrated our Noticing Awards for August and September. We noticed members of our school family who had been helping build the school family, those who were Goal Getters and were setting goals and doing their best on the tests, and finally the students who had been Brain Smart by participating in our Brain Smart Start and working hard to regulate themselves.The students also sang their Brain Smart songs that they learned in music that went with our monthly theme. We rounded out the assembly with a video of our first month of school made by Ms. Carvey. We look forward to inviting families to our Grizzly Gatherings in the future. Watch for more information.

Winter is coming! In North Dakota you never know when it will be here! It could be nice one day and freezing the next. Mornings are getting cooler and it is a good idea to start sending your child/children in warmer clothing. We will go outside until it is -10 degrees Fahrenheit (actual temp or windchill). Students need snow pants, winter coat, snow boots, hat and gloves everyday. Not having these items is not a reason to stay inside and students without proper winter gear will have to stay on the basketball court for recess. Blankets and slippers are not safe for school, so please leave those items at home. That being said, if you do not have the means to outfit your child/children in winter gear, we are here to help! Please scan this QR code and let us know your child’s/children’s sizes and we will do our best to help you get what you need.

Parent-Teacher Conferences at our elementary schools will be held on Tuesday, November 5 and Thursday, November 7 from 4:30 - 7:30 PM. Look for details from your student's school on how to sign up for a conference time. WillistonSchools.org
