Valley City (VCPS) Valley City Public Schools Superintendent, Josh Johnson reminds students and parents about how street improvement projects will effect the school district over the next four to six weeks.
He says, the project will lead to street closures on Central Avenue near Jefferson Elementary. He adds there will be increased number of supervisors in the student pickup/drop off areas. Limit access to areas on the north side of school to allow for a safe walk to and from the buses.
Vehicles will be unable to drive south on Central Avenue between the entrance to Hanna Field to the intersection of 9th Street. This will become a short one-way for those vehicles traveling north off 9th Street. He said they will allow parking on Central Avenue on the east side of the road during Phase I.
After the Labor Day weekend, the second phase of this street project will begin and completely close the road between the entrance of Hanna Field and 12th Street. No Vehicles will be able to travel in this area until the project is completed.
Johnson said to create a consistent plan for students for the first 4-6 weeks of school, a plan will be implemented on the first day of school August 21 until the project has been completed.
It includes:
Buses dropping off and picking up students in the newly created “Bus Only” zone on 12th Street.
Student drop off/pickup by vehicle will occur in the Hanna Field parking lot. Johnson says painted parking spot lines and driving lanes will aid in the safe navigation of this parking lot.
He adds,”Please know that we will NOT be able to provide a drive loop for picking up students at the sidewalk due to the number of vehicles in the Hanna Field parking lot and in an effort to keep our students safe.”
The individual picking up your child must come to up to the sidewalk and escort them across the parking lot back to the vehicle. Students will NOT be allowed to walk across the parking lot by themselves.
Johnson said to notify the school district if you are unable to come to the sidewalk to escort your child across the parking lot and the 12th Street, crosswalks will be supervised after school for those students walking or biking.
VCPS Junior/Senior High Students, Staff, Parents and Guardians:
Johnson adds, “We all know that street construction has been part of our summer here in Valley City and unfortunately, the construction around the Junior/Senior High will not be fully completed until after the first couple weeks of school. We really need your help to ensure that you follow our recommendations for student dropoff/pickup, parking, and pedestrian traffic. We expect that construction will not be completed until after the Labor Day weekend. Please see the Key Information and Our Recommendations detailed and on the map that has been attached with this communication.
Key Information
5th Street Intersection with Central Avenue (north side of VCHS) will be closed to all East/West Vehicle Traffic beginning August 20th until further notice.
Central Avenue will be open and be accessible for our School Buses and Vehicle Traffic between 4th Street and 5th Street.
Our Recommendations.
1) Student dropoff/pickup will be most accessible at Junior High Door #6 or the Hi-Liner Activity Center Bus Lane. Senior High
Door #1 will be open as usual, but vehicle access to this area will be difficult due to the intersection closure on Central Avenue (see map details).
2) Students walking to or from school will not be allowed to cross the intersection at 5th Street and Central Avenue, rather they should cross
Central Avenue at the crosswalks on either 4th Street, 6th Street, or 9th Street.
3) Student parking is always difficult around VCHS and will be even a bit more during the street construction. We ask for our student’s patience and understanding until construction has been completed.
The safety of our students will always be our highest priority and we ask that you please drive with caution in the coming weeks. The street construction is beyond our control and kindly ask that you work with us to ensure students stay safe traveling to and from school. Thank you for your understanding and all of our efforts to be very safe around VCHS for the next couple of weeks while construction on the streets is completed.
Thank you and if you have any questions please contact me at the district office or our administrators at the junior high office or senior high office at 701.845.0483.

In world and national news…
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — One of Jeffrey Epstein’s first known accusers says police didn’t take her complaint seriously in 1997 and blew the chance to bring the financier to justice long before he was charged with sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls and women.
Alicia Arden says she never heard back from police in Santa Monica, California, after accusing Epstein of groping her during what she thought was a modeling interview for Victoria’s Secret.
Police told The Associated Press last week that the case was dropped after Epstein gave a conflicting statement and Arden asked not to press charges, an assertion she strongly denies. Officers would not elaborate on Epstein’s account. His attorneys have previously said police discounted Arden’s allegations.
Arden says the fact that she was discredited was a “stab to my heart.”
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says the police commissioner’s firing of the officer whose chokehold contributed to the death of an unarmed black man means that “justice was served.”
De Blasio said Monday he hopes Commissioner James O’Neill’s decision to fire Officer Daniel Pantaleo “brings some small measure of closure” to the family of Eric Garner.
Garner’s death in 2014 after Pantaleo tried to arrest him was captured on a cellphone video that caused widespread outrage. But the head of Pantaleo’s union criticized the officer’s firing and said the decision would change the way officers did their jobs and make them less safe.
De Blasio, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, was grilled about Garner’s death at the last Democratic debate and was heckled by protesters shouting “Fire Pantaleo.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — The acting director of the federal Bureau of Prisons has been removed from his position more than a week after millionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein took his own life while in federal custody.
Attorney General William Barr announced Hugh Hurwitz’s reassignment Monday. Hurwitz had served as the agency’s acting director since May 2018.
No reason was given for the reassignment, but the move comes as the bureau faces increased scrutiny after Epstein’s suicide Aug. 10 at a New York jail.
The FBI and Justice Department’s inspector general are investigating.
Barr has named Kathleen Hawk Sawyer to succeed Hurwitz. She was the agency’s director from 1992 until 2003.
Hurwitz also led the agency when Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger was killed in a federal prison in West Virginia in October.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan official says at least 66 people have been wounded in a series of explosions in the eastern province of Nangarhar as the country marks Independence Day.
Noor Ahmad Habibi, deputy spokesman for the provincial governor, says at least 10 explosions occurred around the provincial capital, Jalalabad. He says most of the people have minor injuries and have been released after treatment at local hospitals.
No one has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Both the Taliban and the local affiliate of the Islamic State group are active in Nangarhar province.
BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s central bank has issued a gloomy economic report suggesting that growth in the summer continued to shrink, raising the possibility Europe’s largest economy may be entering a recession.
A technical recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth, and Germany saw a 0.1% drop in the second quarter, from April to June.
In its monthly report Monday, the Bundesbank said with falling industrial production and orders, it appears that the slump likely continued through the summer.
It says “the overall economic performance could decline slightly once again. Central to this is the ongoing downturn in industry.”
The Bundesbank says the trade conflict between the U.S. and China, Brexit and other issues have hampered Germany’s export-dependent economy, though it’s still expected to post growth over the full year.
