Congratulations go out to Loressa Krolak, lead custodian at Valley Middle School. She is this week's #SupportStaffSuperstar! VMS principal Dr. Spencer Storey said, "VMS would be lost without having Loressa in our building guarding the night shift!" Thank you, Ms. Krolak, for all you do for our students, staff, and making VMS look its best!

Water has overtaken many of the roads in the Northwest School District today. Currently, the Big River is set to crest at 28’ at 6:00 p.m. tonight. We would not have time for the water to recede and for us to have adequate time to check roads before morning buses. Therefore, we are going to have another (Alternative Method of Instruction) AMI day Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024.
Dear Northwest Families,
We have been monitoring the flooding and watching the forecast of the Big River. Several roads in the district are impassable and the Big River will crest during school hours tomorrow. Out of an abundance of caution, we will have an Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) day November 6, 2024.
We had a fantastic time at the Valley Middle School Pep Rally this morning!
