Valley City (VCPS) Valley City Public Schools Superintendent Josh Johnson says, Valley City Public Schools will be reopening all School Playgrounds,Tennis Courts, and “Sam’s Field” at Washington Elementary beginning on Monday, July 6th. We welcome the community to use these facilities and expect that individuals will follow the recommendations from public health and the CDC.

Dacotah Bank Track at Hanna Field will continue to be open for community use for the purposes of walking and/or running. We will continue to evaluate the use of our other indoor facilities, including the Hi-Liner Activity Center, for community use in our next phase of reopening on July 20th.

Valley City Public Schools will continue to adhere to the “Activity” Summer Smart Restart for all grade 7-12th activities in the school district. If you have any questions regarding this plan, please contact Activities Director Mike Schultz at 701.845.0483 or at email at mike.schultz@k12.nd.us.

Johnson adds that Valley City Public Schools would like to wish the community of Valley City a safe and happy 4th of July. As a reminder, the district does not authorize the use of fireworks on school property and we would also appreciate all community members to avoid shooting fireworks near the Dacotah Bank Track. Believe it or not, running tracks have been known to start on fire this time of year as a result of fireworks.
