Dear Vail Parents and Guardians,
Governor Doug Ducey has just announced statewide school closures to take effect March 16th through March 27th.
Please review the announcement from the Governor and the State Superintendent to parents here.
This means that Vail students will have an extended Spring Break through March 30th. We are making plans to provide learning opportunities for the week of March 23rd through March 27th and beyond if necessary.
The Governor’s announcement encourages the continuation of childcare options. As of now, our Community Services and VIP childcare will remain open.
Please be on the lookout for further communication before school resumes on March 30th.
John Carruth
