Hello Amazing VG Families and Staff,
It is hot out, but the sun is shining and the winds have died down...we have so much to be thankful for. I hope you can unplug this weekend and find some time to enjoy some fun in the sun!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Run for Education. Vista Grande was one of the top participating schools. Way to Go!
This week your children participated in an Earthquake Drill, something we do at least twice a year while on campus. In October we always participate in THE GREAT SHAKEOUT, in memory of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. This year students participated from their workstations...and not the classroom. Below you will find the resources your teacher shared with your child/ren. We hope you take the time to discuss important safety plans with your children while it is on our minds.
Please email me directly if you have questions that I can support you with, ojuergens@srvusd.net and I will do my best to respond to you in a timely fashion.
THANK YOU,
:) Principal Juergens
