Valley City  (VCPS)  Superintendent Josh Johnson updates to residents about status of street projects:

Jefferson Parents and Guardians,
We would like to provide you with an update on the Central Avenue Construction prior to the weekend and also allow you to preview upcoming changes for next week. At this time we are providing you the information we know, however, understanding that weather and other factors may impact exact dates. We will follow up with you as soon as possible if dates/information changes;

1) 12th Street and Central Avenue
– We have been informed that the barricades, traffic signals, and road closure signs will be coming down either this weekend or at the beginning of next week at the intersection of 12th Street and Central Avenue.
– This will allow our parents and guardians to access the Hanna Field student pickup/dropoff parking lot from the north (12th Street).

2) 9th Street and Central Avenue (Intersection)
– We have been informed that the intersection of 9th Street and Central Avenue will need to be closed once again at the end of next week for approximately one week to complete additional work.
– This will again block access to Jefferson from the south and require our parents/guardians to access the Hanna Field student pickup/dropoff from 12th Street.

Thank you very much for your continued patience and willingness to be flexible with all of these projects. Please know that we plan to keep the buses on 12th Street until all construction is completed in the area around Jefferson Elementary. At the end of next week we will be sending out a communication updating you on the projects and also providing information about the Hanna Field parking lot.

If you have any questions about these projects and our continued efforts to provide for a safe student arrival and departure from the school please let us know.
