Valentine’s Day Fun Friday at Valdosta City School of Scholars was filled with joy, kindness, and connection. ❤️ We love seeing our scholars learn and celebrate together!
Administration of both Valdosta High School and Valdosta City Schools are aware of discussions regarding a potential student walkout.
We recognize that students may have strong feelings about current events; however, safety is the foundation of all that we do in Valdosta City Schools. For this reason, walkouts cannot be permitted on campus.
Students who leave class without authorization will be subject to consequences as outlined in the Code of Student Conduct. Unsupervised movement on or off campus presents safety concerns, and this decision is made to protect our school community.

Mrs. Carrillo shared this special moment about her student Ron:
"Ron, my second grade student, came to school this morning and asked if he could read a book to his classmates. The book's title is Love, by Matt de la Peña. He said he wanted to read it to everyone so we could learn about love and how to love each other. He is the true definition of a kind student. He is a leader in setting an example of love, respect, and kindness in the classroom!"
