Letter from Superintendent Joshua Reed
“Dear Valier School Community,
On Saturday, we lost one of our High School students in a car accident. News of this loss is slowly trickling out into the public from friends and family. We will be withholding names until the families involved give us the ok to release them.
Monday will obviously be a very difficult day for our school community. We have called upon our area school districts for any support they can offer with grief counseling. Several area schools will be sending their counseling staff to Valier throughout the week to support our students, staff, and community. We will be positioning Counselors in both the high school and elementary buildings to offer assistance. As we begin this very difficult week, I want to thank the dozens of folks who have reached out to provide support to our school. Without you, this difficult task would seem impossible.
To our community: Please reach out to the school if you are in need of any support. Counselors will be available throughout the week and are available to meet with members of the public. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to call me directly at 406-409-8729. We appreciate all of your support and will keep you updated as new information becomes available.
