Dear Parents, Staff, and Community Members,
On Saturday October 25th, 2025 - late afternoon, Valley R-VI school administration was contacted by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office regarding a reported social media weapons threat allegedly made by one of our students on Friday, October 24, 2025. Law enforcement has investigated the matter and determined that it does not meet the criteria of a credible threat. However, after an administrative investigation, the comments do meet the criteria for school disciplinary action and are being addressed in accordance with district policy.
The Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that the social media account involved and the comments have been deleted and that all firearms in the home are secured and not accessible to students.
In response, the District has taken appropriate action in accordance with the disciplinary code, and our Behavior Risk Assessment Team has been included in the next steps to ensure appropriate follow-up and supports are made available for all students, staff, and community. Both law enforcement and the family have worked with the district and are supportive of these actions.
Please know that student and staff safety remain our highest priority. We will continue working closely with law enforcement and our safety teams to ensure a secure and supportive learning environment for all. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or your school principal.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support in keeping our schools safe.
Sincerely,
Jason Samples
Superintendent of Schools

Seniors and Parents/Guardians,
Join us on Thursday, November 6th, for a pizza dinner as we complete the 2026-2027 FAFSA! Come anytime between 3:30 and 7:00. Mineral Area College representatives will be on site to help and answer any questions.
FAFSA completion is required if:
1. You plan to attend college or a technical school
2. You are unsure if you want to attend college or technical school; it's better to have this step completed rather than waiting!
Even if you think you won't qualify for aid, you should still fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It is the single application required for nearly all types of financial assistance for college, and it is free to complete. The FAFSA can help you access federal loans, state grants, institutional scholarships, and more.
Those in attendance will have their names entered into a drawing for prizes!
Please RSVP to Mrs. Jones at ajones@valley.k12.mo.us or (573) 779-3900 for an accurate food count. For more information on what you may need to bring, please visit https://studentaid.gov/. Please check out the videos below for additional information!
