Principal's Message
Welcome to Valley Charter Elementary School!
Dear Prospective and Current Families,
I’m so excited to welcome you to Valley Charter Elementary School (VCES). Since 2010, we’ve proudly served a diverse community of families in the San Fernando Valley as a high-performing public charter school.
At VCES, students engage in hands-on, project-based learning that
brings big ideas to life. Music, art, and field trips are thoughtfully integrated into units of study to enrich and deepen their learning. Our talented teachers are at the heart of this work. They design engaging curriculum, build strong relationships, and create classrooms where students feel safe to take risks and grow. With their guidance, students gain essential skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and communication that prepare them for success in school and beyond.

VCES is truly special because of our strong sense of community. Families, staff, and students come together to create a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels seen and supported. From celebrations to school-wide events and volunteer opportunities, our families play an active role in shaping the vibrant culture of our school. Together, we’ve built a place where relationships and shared purpose make learning meaningful.
We invite you to get a glimpse of daily life at VCES. Visit our Instagram page (@official_valleycharterschool) to see our classrooms in action and the special moments that make our school community shine.

In Partnership,
Parinaz Banks
VCES Principal
