A Message from Administration

Happy Friday Hunt Valley Community!

What a difference a week makes--it's hard to believe we had freezing cold temperatures this time last week with a bunch of snow and today it feels like springtime outside!

We have made it to the end of the 2nd quarter and halfway through the 2023-2024 school year! We are excited to see all our students back on Monday for the beginning of the 3rd quarter. We are also hopeful that our students can have outdoor recess next week. With the fluctuations in the temperature please encourage your child(ren) to dress in layers so they can be comfortable throughout the building and outside. It is also a good idea to label your child's belongings (i.e., coats, sweatshirts, water bottles, lunchboxes, etc.). as we anticipate our lost and found will continue to grow.

We hope that everyone enjoys the weekend! 

Warm regards,

Keieownna Hightower, Principal

Chrissy Gibbs, Assistant Principal
