Message from the Principal
Dear Virginia Lake Families,
We want to share our gratitude for the community's generosity in supporting our holiday program. We had 108 families, for a total of 170 students who were adopted for the holidays between our staff and the Virginia Lake community. Thank you so much!
Families who are participating in the holiday gift program may come and pick up the gifts for their children on Monday, December 20th and Tuesday, December 21st from 7:45 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.
We are seeking out our parent’s feedback again. Please complete the survey below by December 22. Our Parent Collaboration Committee has been meeting monthly to improve the climate and culture of Virginia Lake. We analyzed our parent’s feedback and identified action items that have and/or will be implemented. We are seeking your input again, as we want to identify what has been successful from the beginning of the school year, and areas that we need to continue to identify action items for continuous improvement.
Our staff is looking forward to the Pie Event! Thank you for supporting our PBIS program!
Let's make it a great week!
With Kindest Regards,
Patti Van Winkle, Principal

Family Collaboration Survey- Midyear Check-In
We are seeking your input to follow up on our initial survey from the beginning of the year, to gain valuable insights into how things have been going at Virginia Lake this school year. The initial information that families shared was analyzed and several adjustments have been made at our school. We are asking you to complete this brief follow-up survey. Results from this survey will be analyzed by our Family Collaboration Team. We will work together to improve the climate and culture of our school community to create an optimal learning environment for all of our students.

Concurrent Learning

We will ONLY allow students who have medical documentation or have been directed by the school nurse and approved by the building principal to quarantine or isolate. Students that have been directed to quarantine and approved to participate in concurrent learning for a specified period of time will be given a device and a link to the Google Meet to participate in learning.
