Cougar Valley Weekly Family Update

Stronger Together: Every Student, Every Day, Every Possibility

September 26, 2025

Happy Friday Cougar Valley Cats and Families,

Thank you for another great week here at the Valley! Our Cats are really stepping it up—we are already halfway to our 500 Cat Coin goal. Once we get there, we’ll celebrate with an all-school 60-second dance party! We are so proud of the progress our Cats are making and grateful for your support in helping them grow every day.

In the next week be on the look out for a conference sign up from your child's teacher. Conferences are right around the corner. They are scheduled for October 23rd and 24th.

In Service,
Monday Galbreath
 

Weekly Updates & Important Information

 

Cougar Valley Family Cutlure Questionnaire

Please complete the questionnaire in the link below. The staff at Cougar Valley would like to know more about the rich and interesting cultural heritage of the families we serve. With this information, our school can acknowledge and celebrate all of our students' home cultures. Our hope is to create an inclusive environment for all of our students and families.


Parking Lot

Drop Off/ Pick Up Procedures

🚗 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Reminders
We need your support in ensuring that our drop-off and pick-up times are safe and efficient for all students. Recently, we have noticed a number of safety concerns and delays in the parking lot, and it is critical that everyone follow our established procedures.
To keep our children safe and our routines running smoothly, please adhere to the following:
  1. Form two lines of cars in both the morning and afternoon.
  2. Do not drop students off on the side of the road. If you do not wish to use the car line, please park in a designated space and walk your student in.
  3. Car tags are required for pick-up. If you do not have your car tag, you will be asked to go into the office with your ID.
  4. Always pull forward as far as possible so we can keep traffic moving.
  5. Stay in your vehicle during drop-off and pick-up. Staff will assist students as needed.
  6. Model respect and patience for staff, students, and each other at all times. Our children are watching how we interact.
These procedures are in place to protect our students and keep the process fair and efficient for everyone. When even a few families do not follow them, it creates unsafe conditions and unnecessary delays.
Thank you for doing your part to keep Cougar Valley a safe, respectful, and welcoming community.
 

Free Breakfast & Lunch

We are asking for your help in an important way. Please take a few minutes to complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefits Form (even if you think you may not qualify).
Why this matters:
  • The information collected helps determine how much funding our school receives for essential programs.
  • Completing the form helps us continue to provide free breakfast and lunch for all Cougar Valley students.
  • These funds directly support classroom instruction, student services, and enrichment opportunities.
The form is quick, confidential, and makes a big difference for our school community.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure every student has access to the meals, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive.

 

Cougar Valley PTA

Please consider joining our wonderful PTA! Your membership does so much to strengthen our school community, and it does not mean you are required to volunteer. By becoming a member, you help build a strong foundation of support for our students, and you can choose how you’d like to share your time and talents in a way that works best for you.
We truly cannot do this work without you. The PTA has already made so many amazing things possible for our Cats—and with your support, we can continue to provide even more opportunities and experiences for our students.
Thank you for considering joining and being part of this important work!
