Reminder: Inclement Weather Protocol
We want to take a moment to remind everyone of our inclement weather protocol.
In most cases, our schools follows MNPS decisions regarding closures or delays. We will always communicate the official decision directly to families on Valor Family News and in a text message. While it is likely we will align with MNPS, there may be rare circumstances in which Valor determines a closure, delay, or opening independently based on conditions specific to our schools and communities.
Updated 26-27 Bell Schedule
For the 26.27 school year, we’re making some adjustments to our schedule that have some impacts to our dismissal times for the 26.27 school year. We’re making these adjustments to ensure we’re in compliance with guidance from the state that has shifted over the past few years related to length of the day and additional stockpile PD/inclement weather days. Here are updated arrival and dismissal times:
- Mondays: 7:55-3:36
- Tuesdays-Friday: 7:55-3:10
2026-2027 School Year Calendar
The schedule adjustments will allow for the student circle to continue to happen on Monday and time at school will remain roughly the same from the current schedule. Additionally, students will go to all classes, five days a week, meaning they will start having Content Focus and Enrichment classes on Monday. The new times will not impact any after school programming. We’re excited for these shifts!
Our 26.27 calendar has been approved by MNPS! You can find it in the link here. MNPS made some shifts to their approach for the 26.27 school year calendar which has impacted some of ours as well. While the base calendar has been approved, there are still some internal dates we are working to finalize, some of which are dependent on MNPS. These include things like ACT testing dates, TNReady windows, etc.. We’ll update our calendar and share with families as those dates get solidified. For now, those dates say “Dates TBD”.
We are working on getting translated versions of the calendar and will share them in the coming weeks!
