Attention Parents:
We need your help with the parking lot.
Our helpers are volunteers as well as our
student safety patrol. Please be
courteous when driving or walking in the
parking lot. The drop off & pick up lane is
one way. Please stay to the right of the
road and do not exit out of a lane the
wrong way. If we all work together the
drop off & pick up is more efficient and
safer for everyone.
The parking lot in front of the church is
reserved for Church Office Visits Only.

“Work with
enthusiasm, as
The Middle School Leadership Conference is
designed to help students discover and
develop their talents as a leader. Everyone
has the potential to lead, and every day
provides you with opportunities and
possibilities to lead. Instead of just sitting
and taking notes, this conference allowed
our council to learn about leadership by
getting involved in activities, engaging in
group discussions, writing their thoughts,
and setting goals to act on. Fun and
interesting sessions helped them improve
skills to become an effective leader and
allowed them to have a great time. Thank
you, to West Valley Christian Academy, for
providing us this opportunity to grow and
develop as leaders. ~ Mrs. C. Smith and the
