Valley City Public Schools would encourage students, parents, or anyone in our community that is or knows someone that may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or is having a mental health crisis to call or text 988.  This hotline has been set up by the North Dakota Department of Human Health Services and is staffed with a trained professional that is available 24/7.  A website with more information is available at https://www.hhs.nd.gov/988.  A reminder that the temporary VCPS crisis hotline was deactivated on Friday, May 19th.

If you have any questions or would like more information about the mental health services at Valley City Public Schools, please reach out to us at our district office or any one of our three schools.  Our administration and/or school counselors would be happy to help with any of your questions or provide you with more information.

Sincerely, Josh Johnson
