Hello Amazing VG Families and Staff,
As you are aware, next week is parent-teacher conference week. This is the time for parents and teachers to discuss student progress thus far and set academic and/or social-emotional goals for the remainder of the semester. As our conference time-slots are relatively short, I do ask that the focus of the conversation remain centered on your child. I know (as a parent myself!) it will be tempting to ask about staffing, possible hybrid schedules, or what things will look like once we return. These are all very important topics that will need to be discussed, but the reality is that we do not have specific answers to these questions . . . yet! But, we will eventually, and If there is one thing I have learned from being a principal; it’s that change is hard, inevitable, and much easier to deal with one step at a time and when we do it together as a TEAM.
*Sending my positive thoughts to all those affected by CA wildfires and all our 1st Responders!
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
