Dear Parents,
Our priority re-enrollment will be ending on February 9th and if you haven't re-enrolled, you may be asking the question, "Why VCS?" We plan on addressing that question at Open House on February 6th! We will first meet at 6:30 in the MP and then you'll visit your child's classroom.
Looking forward to a great evening together!
Have a blessed weekend!
Dorace A. Lynch

Helpful Hints
Should it be necessary for a student to miss school due to a vacation, parents must procure permission from administration 5 days
in advance of the absence by filling out our Planned Absence Form.
Approval of a planned absence is subject to a review of attendance history and academic standing. Failure to receive advance
absence approval may result in an unexcused absence.
The Planned Absence Form is available in the Elementary Office.
