Victor Elementary School District moves to close schools over coronavirus fears

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — After careful consideration, we have decided to close all Victor Elementary School District schools, effective Monday, March 16, 2020. Classes will resume on March 30, 2020.

This closure is for precautionary measures, and currently, there are no known cases of COVID-19 in our district. These measures are to help slow the progression of the virus and protect our students, staff, and community.

Saturday schools, Groove Camp, parent-teacher conferences, after school activities such as Think Together and Champions, and all other extracurricular activities are included as part of this closure.

We will provide more information for students, staff, and families on our plan to provide learning opportunities during the closure and all other contingencies related to staffing and district business. Our operations team is prepared to offer important resources to our community, including feeding programs.

All updates will be posted on our website at www.vesd.net. Any decisions to keep the closures in place beyond March 30 will be made on a weekly basis.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to keep our community safe.
