East Valley Middle School

🐾 Happy first day of school tomorrow morning Bobcats!

Students and families, please scroll through for details about coming in to school and getting your schedule 🤗.

Parents and guardians may accompany their students to the front patio- there are a couple great spots for pictures! Once students enter the building, they will be directed to pick up their schedules. 6th graders will go to the library, which is located on the left as you enter the gallery hallway. 7th and 8th graders will go to the gym, which is on the left almost all the way to the end of the gallery hallway!

The bell schedule is listed as well for your convenience. This is a great thing to save and refer back to throughout the year.

Continue to reach out with questions! We appreciate your patience as we work hard to answer them all 😅🙌🏼🐾

🐾 School starts bright and early tomorrow morning, hurray!

Bobcat families, please scroll through to review our drop off procedures. Please use lots of patience and care as we all work to get our middle school students into the building safely.

* This info details the process for dropping off your student in our front parking lot. For students who walk or are dropped off across the street in the church parking lot, please note that our safety aide Mr. Bradley escorts students across Greenhurst in the crosswalk!

As cars enter our front parking lot and stay to the right, the lane opens up as you approach the front of the school. The left lane is for PASSING ONLY. Please do not stop and have your student exit the vehicle while you are in the left lane. Note where the drop off area begins- you do not have to wait until you are directly in front of the main patio to let your student out.

The main crossing area from the parking lot to the front patio will be staffed as much as possible. Please yield completely to anyone crossing there.

The parking lot between the school and the tennis courts is strictly bussing only until all buses have departed for the day. Please do not turn in there until 4pm or later.

If you need to accompany your student into the building, please park in our front parking lot, and then walk in with them. Please do not drop your student off in the parking lot, as visibility can be poor.

We anticipate a little bit of a learning curve, but we appreciate your help following these front parking lot drop off procedures! 🐾

🐾 Preparations continue as we look forward to welcoming students to East Valley on Monday August 10th for the first day of school 🤗.

To ensure our teachers have the necessary time this week to put together their classrooms (we got new carpet over the summer!) and are ready for the first day, our building may be available on a more limited basis for students and families to walk around. Thank you for helping us respect our teachers’ time!

Reach out with questions! This school year is going to be great! 🐾

🐾…. 🎤… psst, is this thing on? 🫣😅

Bobcat families, we hope you are staying safe and enjoying summer break!

Looking ahead for a moment, we want our fall sports season to kick off as smoothly as possible. Please check out this info from our Athletic Director Mr. Kielman to ensure you’ll be ready!

K, back to sunshine and reading for fun and sleeping in! 🐾

🐾 A few of our Bobcats got some hands-on work experience as hot air balloon grounds crew today!

A balloon unexpectedly landed in our field and we jumped to help, carefully walking it to the parking lot, pulling it to the ground as it deflated, folding it up, and loading it into its bag and trailer.

Pilot instructor Pete of Freedom Flight, Inc. "The POW-MIA Hot Air Balloon Team" then took some time to talk to our students about aviation, the history or hot air balloons, and opportunities for anyone wanting to go into becoming a pilot or working in aviation. It was the coolest!

Shout out to: Mr. Bradley, Mrs. Elliott, Mr. Gildesgaard, Isaac Toone, Lincoln Bastian, Ivan Lozano, Fabian Ibarra, Daniel Correa Pelayo, Xavier Almeida-Vega, Zeke DeLaRosa, and Mrs. Izatt for all of your help!

Pretty fun adventure for the last day of school 🫡🎈💭✈️👨🏼‍✈️🐾

🐾 Part two of our April students of the month in 8th grade! Congratulations!

Also, you might notice a repeat— Autumn was selected as student of the month by two different teachers, so she is listed on the last post and this one as well 👏🏼

We will miss our 8th graders 🥹👋🏼🐾

🐾 Presenting… our April Students of the Month for 8th grade! This is part one for this group; we are proud of their hard work 🐾

🐾 It’s here- our last week of school for the 2025-2026 school year!

We are excited to host an open house Tuesday evening for current 5th graders who will be attending East Valley this fall as 6th graders. Come check out the building and get your questions answered!

We also have a basketball camp for current middle schoolers and a football camp for current middle schoolers, both put on by Columbia coaching staff.

We will finish this year strong with a great week! 🐾
