Elementary Releases Purple and Gold Class Lists

In order to stop the spread of COVID-19, Vian Public Schools will begin the year with a Purple/Gold Rotation calendar. This will allow students to maintain social distancing guidelines in our classrooms and still receive direct instruction from teachers.   Every student is assigned to a Purple or Gold group, even if you have already chosen to enroll in Vian Virtual School because virtual students are eligible to return to physical classes and a space will be reserved for them.  You should have received a text message letting you know your child’s color group and an email as well. If you did not receive either of those messages, please call the elementary office to update your contact information.  

  • The GOLD group will begin learning at school on August 24. 
  • The PURPLE group will begin learning at home on August 24 and come to school for the first time on August 31.

Your child's teacher will soon be in touch with you to discuss how  your student will begin the school year. We will have opportunities for families to check out a Chromebook and possibly a hotspot from school if necessary. Those dates will be coming soon. 

Later this week we will post the new school calendar on our website and Facebook pages so that you can see the dates that your child will come to school throughout the year. We hope that we won't need to stay in a rotation calendar all year, but we are prepared to do so if it’s the safest thing for our students and families.  

If you are interested in full-time virtual education for your student, please call or visit the Elementary office as soon as possible. Our goal is to meet the needs of every student in our district and communication with you is the first step toward achieving that goal.  Our office is open each weekday from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM.  We thank you for your cooperation and we are looking forward to a safe and successful school year.
