For Students, Parents & Families - January 18, 2022
Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education." We may not agree on all things, but I hope we can agree education is about raising kids of character who can work collaboratively, think critically, and care intensely for each other and for our world.
Pitch-In Campaign
Next Monday will kick off with a school spirit day! We encourage students to bring extra change and wear your Vestavia gear.
Course Selection
Each grade-level will be provided with course selection options for next year, parent opportunities for Q&A with administrators and counselors, and individual student meetings for confirmation on the selection process.
Course cards for all grade-levels will not come home at the same time. Watch for communication via email about grade-level plans for course selection. We will keep you up-to-date on the process to ensure that you have the needed information.
Updates
The purpose of our system's notification process is to make sure parents are mindful if one or more of your children have been exposed to someone with COVID. In PowerSchool, we select the classrooms of individuals who have tested positive with COVID. Keep in mind that many of our classes, including PE are multi-grade-level which is why we are unable to specify the class or grade.
If you are curious about which child has a possible exposure, feel free to reach out to our school nurse or an administrator for help. Most importantly, if you receive communication from the school, monitor all of your children closely.
Wrestling
Come out and cheer on our wrestlers in their last home match of the season on Wednesday evening starting at 6:00 in the lower gym.
