College does not mean a 4 year degree! In today's world, a high school diploma is not enough, but not everyone is suited for a 4 year college degree. There are great certification programs and 2 year degrees available through the state's junior colleges that allow students to step into a great career.

Look through the links below and come by my office for more information. Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" has a great website to explain trade schools and the value of a trade school education.

October 18th - Valley Springs School is proud to partner with the American Red Cross by hosting a blood drive from 9:00am-1:00pm in the Gymnasium lobby. All blood types are needed and each donor will receive a $15.00 ecard to Amazon and a free Tshirt. Please click the link to register: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=VSHS Donors will need a form of identification and they can use a student ID/driver's license or transcript to check in. They need to be 16 years or older & minimum 110lbs. If they are 16, they will need a parental consent form (Click Here for Form). Additional height/weight combinations are listed below. Also, it's helpful the day of the drive (can't be done earlier) if the students/donors have smart phones that they fill out their "Rapid Pass" - it's a link to fill out the health history questions beforehand, and it saves time. Here is a link to access it: https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/manage-my-donations/rapidpass.html

Student Drop Off/ Pick Up Map: Here is the car rider pick up/drop off map. We tried our best to make it readable. However, you will see the elementary entrance and Rally Hill Road are are two main entrances/exits. They look congested. Just remember to be patient at the beginning of school while we get used to the flow.

Attention: A change for this year due to safety concerns is that no cars will be allowed on campus until 3:10 in the afternoon. This includes Little Red School House and the Preschool. We had a couple of close calls last year and want to keep all of our students safe. At 3:10 you will be able to pull up at the normal pick up spot by the old gym.

We ask that you do not get to campus until 3:10. Students will not be dismissed until this time. I would suggest not lining up on the highway, it is a safety concern and the Sheriff's Department and State Police may make you move your vehicle.

Also, as a reminder, in the morning, students cannot be dropped off until 7:30.

We look forward to seeing you this week. Again, these changes are for the safety of our students.
