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. Crews are are in the final phases of installing the turf and are planning to begin adding the infill "cushion" tomorrow. 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.
GO VIKINGS!
Taking on the challenge of becoming a Kagan certified district will not come fast or easy, but it will be worth it!

MV is excited to announce that we will be offering an After School Care program for students in grades PK-6th from 3:30-5:45 pm all days MV is in session all day. The daily cost for one child will be $5/day and can be paid with cash or a check made out to MV. Families are required to prepay for 10 days ($50/child) before their child can begin. Once you've used all ten days, another 10 days ($50) must be paid before your child can continue. Students can attend daily or periodically as long as they have a positive balance in their After School Care account. If you would like your child to attend the first day, you must fill out the MV After School Program Registration Form and drop off payment at the school by Tues, Aug 22nd Back to School Night. Once we have your registration, more details will be shared about other details and pick-up locations. If this is going to be your child's regular end-of-day routine, please let the elementary office know. You can email ajohnston@mv330.org if you have any questions.
Greetings,
Welcome to the beginning of the 2023 school year! To prepare for our first day of school, I would like to invite all currently enrolled 6th-12th grade band members and parents/guardians to meet on Tuesday, August 22nd 4:45-5:30pm to get our instruments checked out, cubbies assigned and a COMBINED JH/HS pep band rehearsal. Manning Music will have a display set up and will be answering questions about students' musical needs. School instrument rentals will be assigned by availability and require a signed agreement form (provided at check-out). Students are highly encouraged to stay and perform at the pep rally at the end of our open house event. Thank you all for your continued support of the Mission Valley Music department, I'm looking forward to a very exciting year!
If you have any questions, let me know
