Frequently asked Questions
Below is a link to a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page that was prepared in response to the questions that were received since our Reopening of Schools Plan was released yesterday. Please visit this page on an ongoing basis as information will be added moving forward. New questions and answers will be embedded towards the bottom of the page. Due to the volume of emails that we are receiving, this document will be our response. Thank you for sending those messages as they are beyond helpful.On another note, please know that your responses to the child return to school input form are not binding at this point in time as we are still planning for our full remote option in light of the recently released State guidelines for that option. We are asking for those input forms to be submitted no later than this coming Monday (August 3) at noon.Valley Road Elementary School -

Third and Fourth Grade Students at Valley Road School Learn to Grow Vegetables from Food Scraps
Many types of vegetables and fruits can be regrown instead of being discarded such as celery, romaine lettuce, green onions, potatoes, carrots, and pineapple. Students in both classes observed celery scraps and the leafy top part of a pineapple, while following the scientific method. Students made predictions about the growth and have been observing and documenting the new leaf and root growth. Once the plants have established the new growth, the classes will be planting the scraps in soil.
This activity was a really great way to get students thinking about where their scraps go, how it affects the environment, and what they can do to regrow their own vegetables at home.
Students in Mr. Beck’s fourth grade class and Mrs. Kozlowski's third grade class at Valley Road School learned about regrowing vegetables from common food scraps. Students learned about what happens to food when they throw it out and how that impacts our Earth.

Pumpkin Experiment
Mrs. Nacht's class is watching the decomposition of a pumpkin in a jar and will watch it finish out its life cycle and how it will break down and then grow new pumpkins.
In October they talked heavily about the life cycle of a pumpkin. The class did a lot of pumpkin exploration (looking inside the pumpkin, feeling the outside, noticing different types of pumpkins). Then at the end of the month we read the book Pumpkin Jack about a boy who leaves his jack-o-lantern outside and then is surprised when he finds new pumpkins the next season.
Starting Nov 1st we put our jack-o-lantern in the jar and have been observing how it changes over time. We've been keeping track of it in a journal and the kids are really enjoying it! I told them that their pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns that they threw away are also decomposing like this, just somewhere where we can't see it!
Veteran's Day!
Congratulations Teacher of the Year, Kelly Worton!
