Kick-Off Night!
Our back to school Kickoff Event is happening on August 3rd for 5th grade and August 4th for 6th-8th grade from 5-7:30.
At this event, you & your scholar will:
- Meet your scholar’s pride leader
- Get their school schedule
- Meet other scholars in their pride
- Meet your scholar’s grade level teachers
Our Kickoff Event is a joyful way to build connections and to start the school year strong. If you want to attend, please fill out the Google RSVP form here.
Community Agreements
Community Agreements are live on valorfamilynews.com. These are the critical policies all families need to review and sign receipt of prior to the start of the school year.
You must sign a community agreement for each of your scholars attending Valor.
Your scholar must have signed community agreements to receive their school computer
Please reach out to emarks@valorcollegiate.org with any questions!
7th Grade Immunization Records
If you have an incoming 7th grader and have not submitted their updated Tdap booster record, please ensure that is taken care of as soon as possible. Scholars are required to have updated immunization records documented on the official Tennessee Immunization Certificate (sample of what certificate looks like is linked here) before returning in person this fall. Please make sure the box at the bottom is checked by the doctor’s office as, “Complete 7th Grade or Higher.” All scholars without documentation of a Tdap booster, medical exemption from a medical provider, or a note from a parent/guardian stating a religious objection to it before day 10 of the school year (August 13th) will not be allowed to attend school until documentation is received. Please refer to the Tennessee Department of Health website here for more information.
Please note: due to HIPAA and privacy laws, we are generally unable to contact your scholar’s physician directly to obtain this information. If you have questions, please email your school nurse: Alphonsine Haslet-Phillips ahasletphillips@valorcollegiate.org

Introducing the Valor Family & Student Event Calendar!
We’re excited to launch the Valor Family & Student Event Calendar, a new centralized resource for Valor families, students, and staff to be in the know about events at Valor. This calendar will reflect events happening during the school day and after school – we hope to encourage participation and connection by making events more widely publicized!
Here’s what you can expect to find on the calendar:
- Important dates (early release days, school breaks)
- School events (field trips, testing dates, spirit weeks, award ceremonies)
- After school events (theater performances, club dates)
- Family engagement activities (meetings, cultural festivals)
- Enrollment events (tours, enrollment deadlines)
We encourage you to bookmark this resource and check it out frequently to stay aware of upcoming events.
