Principal's Message

Dear AEC Students and Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! We are excited to welcome students back to the Alternative Education Center—home to Valley View, CDS, CDOHS, CSOP, DASP, and more. While each school and program is unique, we share one mission: to create real opportunities, build powerful connections, cultivate a culture of learning, and lead with grace.

This year, we’re focused on helping every student become Future Ready by developing essential life skills:

 🔹 Adaptable – resilient and self-aware
 🔹 Engaged – active and invested in learning
 🔹 College & Career Ready – prepared for success beyond high school

 

To support this growth, students will practice new Future Ready Habits:

 📵 Phones silenced and put away in backpacks during instructional time
 🛑 Digital hall passes for safety and accountability (at applicable sites)
 👔 Dressing for success each day to reflect readiness to learn

 

These habits help students focus, take responsibility, and build confidence for the future.
