East Valley School District is located in Yakima County, Washington, just east of the City of Yakima. It encompasses the City of Moxee and portions of the unincorporated county, including the Terrace Heights community. The resident population of the East Valley School District is over 17,000. Our community has continued to experience significant growth in residential, educational (Pacific Northwest University), business, and industry over the past 10 years.
East Valley is primarily rural, situated in a valley surrounded by agriculture. Known as the hop production capital of the state and home to bountiful crops and vineyards, agri-tourism thrives. With abundant outdoor activities (hiking, biking, camping, skiing, and more) less than an hour away and four full seasons, East Valley’s central location makes it an ideal place to call home.
Dear East Valley Community,
I would like to start off by saying how excited I am for the 26-27 school year. We are looking forward to building on the positive momentum generated in previous school years by continuing to grow the expertise of our staff, enhancing the experiences of our students, and improving the way we support students to ensure success. As we move into this new year, we plan to continue our efforts on building a stronger multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) to meet the needs of our students, not only academically, but also behaviorally and socially/emotionally. In addition, we will continue to grow our work in connecting students with school, working collaboratively within teacher teams, and engaging students in high quality learning experiences each and every day.
As part of this work, a very important contributor to student success is the collaborative partnership forged between our schools and families. Through this partnership, we will build the routines necessary for academic success. This includes regular attendance, academic engagement, and positive social interactions/behaviors. By working together, students will learn and have reinforced the skills necessary, both at home and in school, for not only success during their time in the East Valley School District, but also for their future. I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities we provide to engage our families in strengthening this partnership. Our back to school BBQ’s, open houses, parent-teacher conferences, Parent Square communications, and family nights are just a few of the things we do to keep you informed and invite you to connect with our schools. We look forward to growing our partnership with each of you to strengthen the experience of your student(s).
The East Valley School District is excited to welcome our students back for the 26-27 school year. We plan to continue to build on all the great things that occurred in 25-26 and grow in those areas that showed opportunities for improvement. We are committed to ensuring that each classroom fosters a positive culture, focused on student learning, while at the same time providing the support necessary to make that happen.
I look forward to seeing you out in our schools and our community and having the chance to talk in person.
Russ Hill, Superintendent of East Valley Schools
