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 MapHere 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.
