Dear Parents and families, Please be advised that Allendale County Schools will operate on a regular schedule tomorrow and will NOT be impacted by the Town of Allendale's water shut off.
At last night’s Board/Community Meeting, Superintendent Dr. Vallerie Cave outlined her plan to restore our district’s independence. Key initiatives include adding success coaches to track student progress, conducting school walk-throughs to monitor classrooms, and streamlining technology for more effective virtual instruction. Dr. Cave is also focused on strengthening the partnership between students, families, and schools to foster collaboration and support. We must unite as a community to reach this common goal, remember #TogetherWeCanDoThis!
Congratulations to our newest board members, Althea Carter and Farrah Maner, who were sworn in on yesterday evening. They were surrounded by friends and family as they took the oath. We are excited to have them on board as work to regain board control!
