Breakfast: All students can come to school for a free breakfast on any day. Breakfast starts at 8:00am and students getting breakfast will enter through the cafeteria doors located in the second driveway. If your child is in kindergarten or pre-K we will have set tables for them to eat at and a staff member will escort them to their classroom lines at 8:25.
Twitter: The VELC has an awesome Twitter page that includes regular pictures of the students in action along with reminders and educational resources. I encourage you to give us a follow at: @VETS_ELC. You can create an account and only follow Vets so don't be afraid to set up your account.
