A message from superintendent CYNDY SIMMS to our parents and community:

The Walnut Valley Unified School District needs your help. We began this school year with fewer teachers, larger class sizes, and cuts in specialized programs and supplies due to California's budget crisis. Even with the deep budget cuts, we have remained focused on providing an excellent learning environment for our students. Our outstanding teachers and staff members are giving their best so that our students can be the best.

Unfortunately, forecasts for the 2010-2011 California budget are equally dire. Walnut Valley will be required to cut an additional $4 million in services and programs by the start of next school year.

On Saturday, November 14, from 8:00 a.m. to noon, the Walnut Valley Unified School District will host a Community Forum in the multipurpose room at South Pointe Middle School.

The purpose of the Community Forum is three-fold:

• Ensure that our parent and community leaders are knowledgeable about the budget challenges facing Walnut Valley schools
• Identify revenue generating ideas for our schools
• Adjourn with leaders determined to make those revenues a reality

As a parent leader in our schools, I am extending a personal invitation to you to attend this Forum. Walnut Valley needs your ideas and your energy so that we can continue to provide an outstanding education for our students.

Please join me on Saturday, November 14, from 8 a.m. to noon at South Pointe Middle School. You already make a difference in the lives of our students and the success of our teachers and staff. We need your help one more time!

Sincerely,

Cyndy Simms
Superintendent
