Due to the extreme windchill forecast for Wednesday and Thursday mornings, we are implementing additional safety measures to ensure the well-being of all students. We kindly ask that all bus riders remain indoors until the bus arrives at their designated stop. This precaution is essential to protect our students from the harsh weather conditions. Please be advised that, in light of these extra precautions, buses may experience slight delays and could arrive a few minutes later than usual at each stop. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of our students during this extreme weather event. *We will be keeping a close eye on the predicted precipitation this evening and overnight. Should road conditions deteriorate and become unsafe for travel, VMISD will make another announcement regarding school operations for Wednesday, February 19.

Just a reminder that February 10 and 17 are student holidays.

Out of an abundance of caution, school is canceled for Tuesday, January 21st. Please be safe and stay warm!

After reviewing the latest local forecast, and as a precautionary measure, VMISD will be having a delayed start on Tuesday, January 21st. Doors will open at 9:30 a.m. and classes will begin at 10 a.m. in order to allow for safe transportation for staff and students. Buses will run 2 hours later than usual, and no breakfast will be served. We will continue to monitor weather/road conditions through the night and into the morning and update you with any changes if necessary.

VMISD is thrilled to announce that the Valley Mills High School band has achieved an outstanding milestone by securing 1st place in the Area D marching contest! This remarkable accomplishment not only showcases the hard work and dedication of our talented students and their directors but also advances them forward to compete at the state contest. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and wish them the best of luck as they represent our school and community on this prestigious stage. We would like to remind all parents/guardians that Valley Mills ISD will be closed on Monday, November 11th, for a student/staff holiday. Furthermore, in light of the band’s recent success, we are pleased to announce that Valley Mills ISD will also be closed on Tuesday, November 12th. We encourage everyone to celebrate this victory and support our band members as they prepare for their upcoming competition. As it stands currently, we have enough days allotted that taking this day will not result in our school district having to use a bad weather day to make the time up. However, if circumstances arise in the future that cause school closures, there is a possibility that this day will have to be made up.

Calendar Reminder: There will be no school the next two Mondays. Oct. 14th- student and staff holiday Oct. 21st- student holiday, staff workday Have a great weekend!

REMINDER: No school on Monday, September 16th. Have a great weekend!

Valley Mills ISD has decided to put up temporary barriers around our campuses in order to protect our school grounds. By erecting temporary barriers, Valley Mills ISD aims to control access to the school premises and prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the campus during the eclipse event. These barriers will be removed on Tuesday, April 9th, and we will reopen access of the school grounds to the public. Thank you for your cooperation during this historic event.

At last night's regular meeting, the board of trustees voted to amend the 2023-2024 school calendar to reflect April 8th as a student and staff holiday. There will be no school on April 8th. With the information provided from the City of Valley Mills and the Bosque County Sheriff's Department, and looking at the logistics of the upcoming eclipse event, the VMISD board of trustees unanimously approved the alteration of the current school calendar in order to avoid unforeseen circumstances.
