VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A student at Jefferson Elementary was hit by a vehicle on Central Avenue as he was crossing the road on Monday, October 5th. The student was transported to Mercy Hospital for evaluation and precautionary reasons.

Valley City Public Schools Superintendent Josh Johnson said we are very thankful that our student will be ok; however, this does serve as a safety reminder for all of us. Please tell your children to use crosswalks when crossing the street and we encourage parents/guardians to drop off your child in the parking lots when available or use the same side of the road as the school.

Johnson encouraged the community to be extra cautious in our school zones, especially before and after school. If you have any questions or concerns regarding student and school safety, please feel free to contact either myself or School Resource Officer Sean Hagen at sean.hagen@k12.nd.us or 701.840.9761.
