Valley Falls USD 338

Hoping everyone is having a fun and productive Spring Break! Warmer weather is certainly welcomed after the frigid temps and winds earlier in the week. Here is the Weekly Update: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q5NbAskmtnpRuSBzjAagIyqsMSuD-U7eVRK3IXFr0mk/edit?usp=sharing

See you Monday!

Improved weather and playground conditions make it a good day to get outside and play. The wood chips have been installed and the top playground is now open!

The safety of our staff and students is our number one priority. USD 338 is having security film placed on all outside entrances over Spring Break. Solar Gard 14-mil clear ballistic film paired with Dow Corning 995 (DOWSIL™ 995) sealant forms a high-security window attachment system. The 14-mil film offers heavy-duty protection against forced entry and high impacts, while DOWSIL 995—a high-strength structural silicone—anchors the film to the frame, preventing the window from blowing out or falling inward. One of the many benefits is Intrusion Delay: Resists smash-and-grab attacks by anchoring the film, making it difficult to push the glass out of the frame. This has been paid by an anonymous donor.

HS Track!! With the weather not looking much warmer for tomorrow, we are going to move tomorrow's optional practice to THURSDAY at 10:00am. This way we can work on events at the track and not be stuck in the gym.
