A Message from our Administrators

Dear Hunt Valley Families,

The school year is moving right along, and our students and teachers are working incredibly hard every day! We deeply appreciate partnering with you in your child’s education and support for our school community.

Looking ahead, we are officially four weeks away from the end of Quarter 1. We will continue to provide high-quality instruction as the first quarter comes to a close.  This is also the time of year we begin scheduling parent, teacher conferences; please stay tuned as information regarding upcoming parent teacher conference will be sent out in the coming weeks. Additionally, we are planning to host a Principal Chat on the evening of October 22nd more details will be shared by the end of next week!

A big reminder that our PTA-sponsored Fall Festival is tonight! We hope to see many of our families there for a fun evening together.

Have a wonderful weekend, and we hope to see you at the festival tonight!

Warmly,

Keieownna Johnson, Principal

Eric Kopacz, Assistant Principal
