Valley City\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 With Governor Burgum announcing that North Dakota is extending business closures thru April 30th and will be planning for a possible Smart Start beginning after the 30th of April, Valley City Public Schools Superintendent Josh Johnson says VCPS \u00a0has decided that the Schools will continue to close schools thru Friday, May 1st.<\/p>\n
He said \u201cWe are hoping to be able to provide more information and updates for our students, parents\/guardians, staff, and community with more information regarding the last three weeks of the school year between Thursday, April 30 \u2013 Friday, May 1. We hope that this update will include the following information; school closures, activities, graduation, and summer programs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Modified District Calendar<\/p>\n
The statement said, \u201cPlease see the attached \u201cmodified\u201d 2019-2020 district calendar, which includes our distance learning days off during the COVID-19 pandemic and school closures. These days will only be used in the event that school closures continue beyond Friday, May 1st. If, schools re-open after May 1st, we will resort back to following the original 2019-2020 calendar. Please know that between April 16th \u2013 May 1st, we will have distance learning days off on Friday, April 24th and Friday, May 1st.<\/p>\n
The Sheyenne Valley Area Career and Technology Center will continue to follow the original calendar and students taking classes thru the SVACTC will need to follow this schedule rather than our approved \u201cmodified\u201d calendar.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your continued flexibility and resourcefulness during this unprecedented pandemic. If you have any questions please communicate with me via email and\/or phone.<\/p>\n
