As part of our school health screenings, vision and dental screenings will be performed at school for our students.
If you do not want your child to participate in either of these screenings, an opt-out form must be completed and returned to the school nurse.

VISION SCREENING FORM: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYQLdePHTPXG8x3knqV3U69wiCOljXJx/view?usp=sharing
The deadline to return opt-out forms is September 7th.
If you have any questions regarding the screenings or the opt-out process, please feel free to contact Emily Esser at emily.esser@vfalls338.com
Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy and well!
High School Volleyball Announcements and Reminders:
Tomorrow, Monday, 8/17 is the first day of practice, all forms and physicals are due before your daughter can practice. We will watch concussion and heat illness training videos to start. Practices will dismiss at 5:30 each night.
Wednesday, 8/19 athletes will have time to start on their class posters after practice as we will not have any Saturday practices this year.
Looking forward to next week we will have the father/daughter scrimmage on Tuesday 8/25 starting at 6:30pm and we will kick off the season on Thursday 8/27 with our jamboree at JCN with McLouth starting at 5:00pm.
To ensure compliance with the law, official district and school/building social media accounts will continue to provide information, announcements, celebrations, and other updates, but they will no longer respond to direct messages or participate in conversations with individuals through comments.
This change is necessary because district employees are prohibited from engaging in social media communication with students, and it is not always possible to determine whether a particular social media account belongs to a current student.
We value the opportunity to communicate with our families and community and want to make sure questions and concerns continue to receive a timely response. If you need assistance, please contact the district office at 785-945-3214 or your child’s school (PK-8 at 785-945-3221 or HS at 785-945-3229) or use the email addresses provided on the Valley Falls Schools website.
Thank you for your understanding as we implement these new requirements and continue working to provide clear and effective communication with our school community.
