A Message from our Administrators

Dear Hunt Valley Community,

We are back at school planning for the 2025-2026 school year! While there is plenty of summer left we wanted to provide you with some important dates (please see below).

Our Open House is Friday, August 15th (please see schedule below). Prior to open house, your child's teacher will contact you to introduce themselves.

On the first day of school, parents/guardians are invited to walk their child(ren) to the classroom and then join us in the cafeteria for a parent coffee.

We hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Keieownna Hightower, Principal

Chrissy Gibbs, Assistant Principal

Eric Kopacz, Assistant Principal
