Welcome Back, Otter families!!! Please mark your calendars and join us virtually to kick off the 2021-2022 school year with our first PTO meeting Friday, September 10th at 7:00pm.
**An email will be sent to you from CRES with instructions to join our virtual call.** PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hello Otters! My name is Kate Ushing and I am this year’s PTO President. I am excited to be a part of such an involved and amazing community of families working together for our kids. My husband Ron and I have one child going into the first grade at Cedar River and another who is in preschool but chomping at the bit to begin her journey as an Otter. My family is still relatively new to Maple Valley but we are in love with this community and can’t imagine being anywhere else! Summer may be almost over, but after the most unique school year ever I am so thankful that our kids (and hopefully parents!) are getting to have a bit more normalcy going into the 2021 - 2022 school year. Our PTO has many great plans for the year in the works and we will be finalizing them under our district’s guidance with regard to COVID safety, so stay tuned!
