A Message from Administration

Good afternoon Hunt Valley Families,

We have had such a wonderful week here at Hunt Valley! Our Field Day was a huge success. The students, staff and parents had a fabulous time! We want to thank our awesome P.E. department, Ms. Ross and Mr. Barbaro, and our terrific Wellness Team, Ms. Huntley, Ms. Dunne, and Ms. Dianna Carr for organizing activities, logistics and volunteers for this event. A huge thank you to all the parents and volunteers that worked with classes and led the activities--this would not have been possible with each and every one of you!

It was nice to see so many parents in the building this week, helping with end of year parties and activities. Our students have really enjoyed themselves! Thank you for giving up your time to plan and coordinate these activities.

Please see the invitation below for the volunteer appreciation breakfast on Monday. We want to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers for their support this school year. We hope to see you there!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Warm regards,

Keieownna Hightower, Principal

Chrissy Gibbs, Assistant Principal

💪 Let's Finish the School Year Strong!

Student attendance at school is important all year long, up to the last day of school. Attendance has an effect on student performance and on school accreditation. See how to:

  • Check your child’s attendance record.
  • Help your student stay engaged at school.
  • Report future absences.
  • Understand the FCPS school calendar.

Learn more about attendance resources.


📈 SOL Scores Posted in SIS ParentVUE

Families can find Standards of Learning (SOL) reports for spring testing in the SIS ParentVUE Documents section on or before the last day of school. Log in to your ParentVUE account to access the following:

  • For all students, the official SOL Score Report with overall and reporting category performance for all spring tests.
