Valentine Community Schools

Thanksgiving Break is this week and it has been extended. This additional time off is not designed to extend the break for extra travel. We really need help from the entire community to slow the spread of Covid-19 so that we may continue in person learning and provide activities for our students for the remainder of the school year. Everyone is encouraged to Avoid the 3 C’s - Crowded Places, Close Contact, and Confined Spaces - so that we can slow the spread of Covid-19 and remain in our in person learning environment.  There will be NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, November 25th, Thursday 26th, Friday 27th, Monday 30th and December Tuesday 1st. Classes will resume on Wednesday December 2nd at 8 a.m.   All extracurricular activities on these dates will go on as previously scheduled.

VMS Girls Basketball will host Ainsworth this evening at 4:30 p.m. in the VMS Gym. Same requirements:  We are operating at 25% capacity. That means that for VMS games, each player is allowed 2 tickets. The tickets can only be used by people that live in the same household of the athlete - they can't be shared with anyone else per Governor's directive. Those in attendance must sit with their family members and social distance from other families (6 ft). Masks are required for all events.

The Ainsworth Middle School Wrestling Invite scheduled for tomorrow has been moved to a 2:00 pm start time. Team will dismiss at 12 p.m. and will depart at 12:15. Wrestlers will need to eat first lunch shift. They are not allowing fans but will have it live-streamed.  A link to their live-stream channel will be posted on our school’s website under “Live Feed” when we receive it.

Student Council will have a meeting tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. in the library.

Gym Lockers MUST BE CLEANED out completely tomorrow as we will be deep cleaning and sanitizing over break.
