Welcome to Lake Valley Elementary School!

On behalf of the faculty and staff I would like to welcome you to Lake Valley Elementary School. My name is Tusanne Cordes and I am the new principal here at Lake Valley. I am technically not new, I have been at Lake Valley on and off since 1981 in different capacities. I was mentored by our former principal, Danny Brown and I feel the transition will be smooth and I guarantee your students are in good hands. For those of you who are new to the area welcome to Prescott Valley and Lake Valley Elementary, Home of the Cubs! We know you will enjoy becoming a part of the Lake Valley community and will be impressed with the dedicated individuals that will be part of your child’s education.
Lake Valley Elementary School has established a strong tradition of caring for and providing students with the kind of opportunities that will enhance each day and secure their future. We create an environment that allows students to strive to reach their maximum potential. I am very honored and proud of our faculty and staff along with our wonderful families we have here at LVES. It takes the “village” to raise student achievement and our staff would like to thank everyone for their support.
Our Character Counts program has been much improved this year. Our culture/climate committee has been working on a renewed focus to support the six pillars of character. Our Character Counts traits include caring, trustworthiness, responsibility, fairness, respect and citizenship. We are devoting one day per month on activities that promote strong character education and the fine arts. These days coincide with our monthly spirit and pride assemblies that promote good character education.
As you can see we have many exciting things happening this school year and we hope you can become a part of your child’s education at LVES. Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions or concerns. My number is 759-4205 or you can certainly email me at tusanne.cordes@humboldtunified.com.
Thanks for your support,
Tusanne Cordes, Principal |
