About Us
West Valley Middle School offers a rich educational experience to children emphasizing small class sizes and a hands-on approach to learning. Our school offers a variety of extracurricular activities within our regular program including Spanish, Dance, PE, daily electives, an all-inclusive sports program, and Life-Skill education. Students at West Valley Middle School have access to the latest in technology including Smart Boards, LCD projectors in each class, a laptop for every student, and Document Viewers. In addition, our school offer extended day programs from 6:30am-6pm and we are open for non-academic days.
All students are warmly accepted and guided along their educational path throughout our program. Bullying and “slipping through the cracks” simply do not happen at our school due to our small, family like atmosphere. Students are held to high standards while enjoying school. As a result, our 8th grade graduates go on to schools such as Archbishop Mitty, St. Francis, Notre Dame, Bellermine, and many others.

West Valley Community Club (WVCC, Parent Organization)
The West Valley Community Club (WVCC) is our school’s version of the PTA (Parent Teacher Association). The WVCC helps support the school in many ways. The WVCC runs events such as the Bingo Night and End of the year BBQ and is very important to the school. As with any volunteer organization, the success of WVCC is based on the strength and depth of the volunteers themselves. Volunteering for events, donating prizes, or utilizing your contacts to benefit our school are some of the ways that you can help.
