Dear Parents and Guardians, We want to inform you that due to ongoing renovations and the need to provide contractors with uninterrupted access to our school facilities, we have decided to implement a "Distance Learning" day this Friday November 17,2023. This temporary shift will allow the contractors the necessary time to efficiently complete the remodel, ensuring an improved learning environment for our students. Distance Learning days count as a school day and do not have to be made up at a later date. During this period, students will engage in learning from the safety and comfort of their homes. Teachers will provide instructions and assignments through our established online platforms, maintaining continuity in the educational process. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to enhance our school facilities for the benefit of all students. Thank you for your ongoing support. May each of you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Sincerely, Brandon Frazier Superintendent - Valliant Public Schools
