VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The following is the Valley City Public School District’s 2023-2024 Winter Weather Plan for Valley City Public Schools. The plan is attached below and can also be found on our website at www.hiliners.org.
Call System and Reminder on Storm Homes
If you have not previously received calls or text messages from our Instant Alert System and would like to be added, please contact Courtnie.D.Fick@k12.nd.us or by phone at 701.845.0483. At the beginning of the school year, parents/guardians provided the school district with student information for our PowerSchool System, please use this as a reminder to discuss storm homes with your family and if you would like to verify or make changes to this information, please contact your child’s school office at Jefferson, Washington, or Junior/Senior High.
‘Grace’ Day, Make-up Days(2), Other Options (Make-up and Virtual Learning)
Valley City Public Schools will not make up the first day (or up to 7 hours) of school missed due to winter weather cancellations. After using our two storm make-up days (May 23, 24), the school district will consider other options such as additional make-up days, extension of the school day, and/or virtual learning days. Please know these options will be communicated with you well in advance, if it appears we are going to need to consider additional options.
Winter Clothing Requirement for Buses- Routes and Activities
Beginning on November 13th, all bus riders will need to have a winter coat, hat, and gloves to be permitted on a school bus. A letter with more information on this requirement is included in the email. If you have any questions or need assistance in obtaining these items, please contact us at the district office.
