Federal Cards
Cards must have complete, accurate information, and must be signed and dated by the parent.
Please fill these out tonight, sign them, and return them with your student tomorrow. They should turn these in to their homeroom teacher ASAP.
2nd Virtual Learning Day
Schools will be closed for students November 6, 2018. VBCPS has deemed this day a “virtual learning” day.
A-Day students completed the Virtual Learning Day lesson in October, and B-Day students will complete it in November. Our Life Science Virtual Learning lesson has been designed so students who do not have internet access at home will still be able to complete the assignment by picking up a packet in class.
Please discuss internet options with your child because they will be asked if they will be able to complete it online or if they need a packet instead.
