Hello Valley Heights:
Today the Governor suspended school as we currently know it until the end of May. We are receiving guidance from the Kansas Department of Education on how we are to proceed with delivering instruction to our students. The Legislature has also approved for districts to apply for waivers that will mandate two things. 1) Continuous Learning Plans are to be developed and delivered to students. 2) All hourly employees will be paid.
The following schedule will apply to Valley Heights schools:
March 23 - 27 - Staff will develop instructional delivery methods. NO instruction will be provided this week.
March 30th. Instructional delivery methods will be implemented.
Please stay tuned for more specific instructions on how we will deliver our Continuous Learning Plans.
Additional cancellations at Valley Heights High School: Our Junior High Dance for this Friday night will be postponed to a later date. Also the Twin Valley dance for this Saturday will be postponed at this time. Thank you for your patience.
Just a reminder that the Prom Night Tux/Flower Order session, that was to be at the high commons this evening, has been cancelled.
