Valley View Elementary began the 2025–26 school year on August 20, 2025, greeting students back to its Coachella campus, following the CVUSD's established academic calendar. Parents were requested to refresh student authorizations via the district's Aeries Parent Portal before the new term commenced. In a separate development, the Coachella Valley Education Foundation, which supports CVUSD schools, including Valley View, opened applications for board vacancies in early 2026. This program aims to strengthen community backing for students across the entire district.
