School Safety Week | Working Together to Keep Our Schools Safe
As we continue to recognize School Safety Week, October 5–9, we’re sharing a few highlights from the week along with some of our safety and security priorities for the 2026–2027 school year.
🚒 Thank You to Our First Responders
This week, students have had opportunities to learn from and interact with local firefighters, law enforcement officers, and 911 dispatchers. A special thank you to our first responders throughout Valley City and Barnes County for their continued partnership with VCPS!
Our 2026–2027 District Safety and Security Plan includes five priorities.
Here are a few areas our families and community may see firsthand:
🚦 Safer Traffic Around Our Schools – We continue to work with the Valley City Police Department and City of Valley City to improve traffic and pedestrian safety around our schools. We appreciate everyone slowing down and driving carefully in our school zones. At Jefferson Elementary, families are encouraged to use the designated school parking lot for drop-off and pick-up rather than parking across Central Avenue.
🚨 Training & Emergency Preparedness – Students and staff participate in safety drills throughout the year, along with age-appropriate student education and emergency-response training for staff, including First Aid, CPR, AED, and Stop the Bleed.
🏫 Designing Safer Schools for the Future – Our new grades 3–12 school, scheduled to open in fall 2028, will include secured entrances, improved office locations, communications, supervision, and other modern security features. Jefferson Elementary will also receive renovations to improve access control and safety.
Keeping our schools safe takes all of us—students, staff, families, first responders, and community members working together.
Thank you for continuing to help us provide safe and welcoming schools for every VCPS student. 💙🤍
