Check here for announcements.

-----------------------------

Based on the announcement made by Governor Baker, Valley West will remain closed for the rest of the school year.  

We feel great sadness and disappointment for our students upon hearing this announcement.  We are especially sympathetic towards our senior class members, who will not be able to finish their final year here at Valley West.  

​

Our Remote Learning plans continue to evolve based on guidance from DESE and feedback from families.  Continue to check email for updates to your child's plan moving forward.  

​

We are so appreciative of your patience and understanding.  Our teachers, clinicians and support staff are learning new skills daily and are working very hard to reach your children effectively. We could not be more proud of their efforts.  We are confident that when we are able to return to school, our connections will remain strong with your children. Until then, stay safe, practice social distancing, and take care of one another.

We will continue to communicate any updates through our automated call system and on this announcement page.
