Message from the Principal
Dear Virginia Lake Families,
It is hard to believe that January is almost over! The students and teachers have not missed a beat this month. As we approach the end of January, we are beginning to plan for Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day parties will take place on Tuesday, February 14th from 2:50-3:50 p.m. Volunteers will be welcomed into classrooms at 2:35 p.m. If you are interested in volunteering for Valentine’s Day, please contact your child’s room representative or classroom teacher. We will be printing badges for the parties. They will be available in our foyer on Valentine’s Day. IDs will be collected. We are limiting the number of volunteers to four per classroom and volunteer names must be submitted to our office. Please reach out if you have any questions.
A few friendly reminder to families that drop off and pick up their children. Cars must take a right turn out of our parking lot. This helps with the flow of traffic in our car rider lane. It is illegal to take a left turn. Walkers should also cross Rohlwing Rd. at the crosswalks. Please do not park on Rohlwing and cross the street with your child at the end of the day. We are role models for our children and want to keep everyone safe. We appreciate your assistance with this manner.
Let’s make it a great week!
Warmest Regards,
Patti Van Winkle, Principal
