Dear Parents,
The Intermediate building has a scheduled inspection at 9:00 AM tomorrow for the completion of the new addition. The inspection will require them to set off the fire alarms. The fire alarms are very loud and can upset our younger students. During this time, we would like to have our transportation department transport the Pre K students on a bus to the Elementary. All students will be with their teachers and classmates. They will play in the gym and on the PreK Excel playground during this time. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.
Thank you,
Beth Carr

The Valley View School District has continued to monitor the latest local event plans, district staffing data, and updates from local and state officials regarding the Total Solar Eclipse that will occur in our area on April 8, 2024. Based on our review of all current data, Valley View School District campuses will be closed for in-person instruction on Monday, April 8. This date will be an Alternate Methods of Instruction (AMI) day to ensure the safety of all students and staff with the projected impacts on traffic before and during dismissal time and due to the impact closures of other facilities have had on district staff available to report to work. Next week each student will be provided ISO-certified glasses to bring home to experience the eclipse off campus. Instructional activities and resources will be posted on our district website to supplement other eclipse activities Blazer families may have planned for this date. The district appreciates your understanding of this decision as area plans have continued to evolve in preparation for the event.
This is an automated message from Valley View Public Schools.

Based upon recent guidance provided by the Arkansas Department of Education, school districts now have the option to make up snow days by submitting a waiver request to modify the current 2023-2024 school calendar from a traditional calendar (178 six-hour days required) to an alternate calendar (minimum of 1,068 instructional hours).
Rather than making up missed days following Memorial Day as planned in the current traditional calendar, our district plans to change to an alternate (hours) calendar that utilizes extra instructional minutes built into each school day for the remainder of the second semester to meet the required 1,068 hours. This means that no additional days will need to be added to the calendar for students in grades K-12 and the last day of school will be Friday, May 24, 2024. In order to not only make up the two days missed but also bank additional instructional time for potential future inclement weather days, each building will push back dismissal 5 minutes starting on Monday, January 29, 2024.
At this time, Pre-K students and staff will still make up the missed days on May 28th and May 29th due to the ABC funding requirement to have 178 student contact days. However, the state is looking into possible options for ABC programs to align with their local school district’s plan. When our district receives additional guidance from the state, updated information will be provided.
Thank you for your understanding as our district makes these adjustments based on the new options available to meet state requirements and make the most of instructional time.
