Jag Journal Summer 2022 Edition!
Parent Newsletter
It is hard to believe that we are almost to July! I hope you all have been sharpening the saw and getting lots of rest and renewal for the upcoming school year! We are excited to welcome everyone back in a few weeks and have included some helpful information for you in this newsletter. Our theme for the 22-23 school year is "Glowing and Growing", to shine a light on all of the wonderful things that our students and staff are doing here at VRE every single day! If you don't already, please make sure to follow us on Facebook.
