Dear Parents and Patrons,

Every year the Velva Public School District, in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, publishes an annual progress report on student achievement called the School District Profile. This profile is now available for your review. I encourage you to access and study this important information. This report demonstrates the progress our students are making in terms of our challenging academic standards.

You may access the School District Profile for the Velva School District on the Department of Public Instruction’s website at the following address www.dpi.state.nd.us/dpi/reports/profile/index.shtm. Simply select the Velva School District and the most recent year to access the various reports available. If you prefer, the staff at school or our central office will assist you and provide a printed copy to review.
