To the parents of elementary students,
Our school won a spot in a public health program that provides free smart thermometers to everyone that wants to participate! This program and these thermometers will help us track and prevent the spread of contagious illness in classrooms this flu season." If you would like to get a free smart thermometer, you will need to text 'FLUENCYSCHOOL' to 555888. You will get a text invite to claim your thermometer on September 30!!!
Valliant Elementary Parents and Patrons,
Tomorrow we start the Boys & Girls Club of Valliant at the Elementary. The Club will be open from 4:00 to 6:00 pm Monday through Thursday when school is in session. Applications were sent home last week. We'd love to have your child be a part of our program.
For questions, contact Director Amy Harrison at aharrison@vpsd.org.
It's a Great Day to be a Bulldog! #weareValliant
We've started a new effort called "leave it better than we found it." Tonight, our fans pitched in. They had a little help from our water girls, managers, and others. YOU DID A GREAT JOB! Let's make it an every time tradition. Thank you all! #weareValliant
It's Gameday! The Tishimingo Indians come to town tonight. Due to a scheduling conflict, kickoff will be at 7:30 pm. Come out and support the Bulldogs!
Elementary Parents, Please check your child's folder or backpack today when they come home. Applications for the Boys and Girls Club of Valliant were sent home. Please make sure to complete the application and return it to school tomorrow if you plan to participate. The Boys and Girls Club will be open from 4:00 to 6:00, Mon through Thur. The Valliant Club is brand new and is currently self-funded so we will be charging a small weekly fee to cover the initial costs. There is more information in the application packet. We are planning to start on Sept 16 which is this coming Monday.
Parents, Patrons, Teachers, and Staff,
As you may remember, our start of school got interrupted by a problem with our water. As a result we used up all our reserve days for the school year. Over the last several days we have been looking at how we could "make up" a couple of those days. We sought input from lots of sources, and have made a decision that we feel best enables our school to be prepared for any future emergency that may arise.
School will be in session on Friday, September 20 and on Friday, October 11. For the first time in quite some time, the buses will run, and the bells will ring on Friday. Our students will have an opportunity to experience the excitement and energy of attending school on a Football Friday.
It's a Great Day to be a Bulldog! #weareValliant
IT’S OVER! THE BOIL ORDER IS LIFTED! Great news. The Valliant Schools will be in session on Monday. Thank you all for your prayers and best wishes. Thank you so much to the Valliant PWA and The City of Valliant.
I’d also like to thank all those agencies and groups that offered assistance to us so that we could get back to school.
It truly is a Great Day to Be a Bulldog!
Parents, Students and Patrons, it has been communicated to me today that we will not have any test results that would lift the Boil Order in Valliant until at least Thursday. Therefore, with much disappointment, I have made the decision that we will not have school either Wednesday or Thursday. I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience. #weareValliant
Parents, Patrons, Students and Staff, Today we have met with officials of the McCurtain County Health Dept, the Dept of Environmental Quality, and Valliant PWA. The City of Valliant remains under a Boil Order and results of additional testing will not be available until at least Tuesday afternoon. As a result, SCHOOL WILL NOT BE IN SESSION ON TUESDAY, AUG 13. I understand that this is a frustrating and inconvenient situation. I encourage everyone to support those entities that are working to rectify this problem. #weareValliant
I want to remind everyone that due to the current situation with the “Boil Order” in the City of Valliant, that there will be NO SCHOOL on MONDAY, AUGUST 12. I will be monitoring the situation closely and will seek options to return to school as soon as possible. I encourage everyone to remain hopeful for a positive outcome and support everyone that is working on the problem. #weareValliant
Parents, Patrons, Teachers and Staff, you may be aware that the City of Valliant has been notified of a failed water purity test today. The City is in the process of notifying all residents that the City is currently under a “Boil Order.” I have been in contact with Valliant PWA and City Officials concerning the issue. The PWA is currently flushing the system and will continue to do so. Although I am assured the failing sample came from an isolated area, it is my duty to act with an abundance of caution concerning the health and safety of our students. Therefore, I am dismissing school on Monday, August 12. It is my hope that additional testing will show that the system has been cleared and that we can resume our normal schedule as soon as possible. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience. Please Share
Teachers and Staff, this is just a reminder that we will be starting school next week. On Mon, Aug 5, teachers will report at 8:00 to the HS Safe Room. First Baptist Church will be providing lunch for ALL STAFF on Monday at 11:30. Everyone is invited. On Wed, Aug 7, all staff will report to the MS Safe Room at 7:30. Staff pictures will be taken on Wed. Students first day is Thur, Aug 8! #WeareValliant!
Reminder- anyone that has not completed enrollment forms and drawn for their locker that will be in grades 6-8 can do so tomorrow from 11 am to 7 pm.
Patrons and Friends, we have tried very hard since last spring to find a Band Director and or Choir Director. We have suffered many disappointments in this search. So, we need your help. Please share this post or reach out to anyone you know that may be interested in our position. The teacher shortage is real.
Shout out to VMS Student Council for the beautiful sensory sidewalk they designed and painted!
Physicals for bus drivers or any athlete needing a physical in Grades 6-12 will be July 25 at 6 pm at Scoggins Field House. Cost $10 for students. Dr. Mike Irvin conducting physicals.

There is no advantage to being the first or last in line. Students will draw for lockers this year. New students may come on the designated days to enroll, however if you attended a different school last year, you may need to complete a transfer form in the superintendents office if you have not done so already.
Schedule changes may be requested before the first day of school but will only be granted based on academic need. It is important to keep class sizes as small as we can to create a better learning environment for everyone.
