Ability Awareness Day
✨ Ability Awareness Day at VMS February 12th – Presented with PTA Support! ✨
We’re excited to support this year’s Ability Awareness event at Valley Middle School—a fun, interactive day designed to help students build empathy, understanding, and inclusion 💛.
During lunch on February 12th, students will visit activity stations led by our amazing VMS staff. Each student will receive a passport to collect stamps or stickers at every station—and those who complete them all earn a sweet treat at the end! 🍬
🗓 Event Times
• 6th & 7th Grade: 11:00–12:00
• 8th Grade: 12:00–12:45
🙌 Parent Volunteers Needed!
We’d love to have 3–5 parents join us to help:
✔ Guide students between stations
✔ Keep lines moving
✔ Hand out candy to students who finish their passports
Want to help or have questions? Drop a comment, DM us, or email the PTA at President@vmspta.com —we’d love to have you be part of this special day!

A message from the City of Carlsbad
Safer Together
Whether you are driving, biking or walking, we all have a role to play in traffic safety. Here are some top safety tips that the City of Carlsbad would like to share with you and your students:
Make sure to allow extra time to get where you need to go.
Eliminate distractions and put your phone away.
Look both ways (and then look again!) before crossing the street.
Slow down and watch your speed when driving or riding a bike/e-bike.
Look out for and yield to pedestrians.
Bicyclists and e-bike riders must follow the same rules of the road as people driving. Join the Carlsbad Police Department for an upcoming safety class to help middle and high school students learn the rules of the road.
