A Message from Administration

Good afternoon Hunt Valley Families,

We are excited for our Spring Fling tonight! There are several activities planned including carnival games, obstacle course, face painting, cupcake walk, a live DJ and the night will end with a glowstick dance party. There will be several food options available. Please be sure to check out the silent auction in the gym--there are tons of awesome baskets to choose from tonight! We are looking forward to seeing families there.

We hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Warm regards,

Keieownna Hightower, Principal

Chrissy Gibbs, Assistant Principal


Spring Fling

Parent input for class placement--Last Day!

As the 2023-2024 school year comes to an end we are in the process of planning for next school year. One of our important tasks is to determine class placements for the 2024-2025 school year. Our school staff works collaboratively to plan teacher and student assignments. A variety of factors such as student personalities, friendships, and academics are considered as we create new classes.

Hunt Valley families have an option to assist in placements by providing insights about their child(ren). Please be mindful of the following:

  • We will not accept requests for specific teachers. 
  • Input must be submitted by the deadline, Friday, May 17, 2024, to be considered. We will not accept late requests.

The deadline for any correspondence regarding the next school year is Friday, May 17th via this Google form
