Throughout our years of educating students, one of our top priorities at Valley R-VI School District has always been the safety of our students, staff, and community. Since the beginning of this pandemic, Valley R-VI has been monitoring the situation and taking all possible precautions to keep our students and employees as safe as possible. We have been continuously working with the Washington County Health Department and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) while making decisions during this unprecedented time. We have also continued to monitor information and press releases from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS).
Through many hours of researching, collaborating, and gaining input from members of our staff in various roles, we have moved forward with a plan to reopen school on the scheduled start date of Wednesday, August 26, 2020. Please read the entire Valley R-VI reopening plan document to learn all the important specifics.
Valley R-VI School District hosted graduation for the 2020 senior class of 2020 on July 11 at 7:00 p.m., in the J. Stephen Yount Gymnasium. Graduation was followed by a processional outside the high school where family and friends could drive by the seniors, while they stood on the sidewalk, and congratulate them. We at Valley R-VI are extremely proud of our graduating class for being so flexible and committed during this extraordinary time. Congratulations Valley R-VI class of 2020. We wish you well and are proud of you!
