Principal's Message
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,
This past week, we celebrated the teachers at Vannoy for the things they do. I am thankful for all of you that showed your appreciation, caring, and love for your child's teacher. Likewise, we also appreciate all of you parents - your participation and partnership with the school is essential to building a strong school community. We will be having our Volunteer Tea - a celebration of parents and volunteers that have helped us this year. It is on Friday, May 19th. Please come and be recognized and celebrated!
A big thank you to Hans Giesler and all of the volunteers that came to our Campus Beautification event this past Saturday. Our campus looks great - weeding, planting, mulching in the garden, and tidying up around campus. Thanks for helping keep Vannoy looking its best!
Regards,
Mr. Ko

SBAC - Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium - Assessment Window May 1 - May 19
The SBAC is our state standardized assessment for our 3rd - 5th grade students. This assessment will be given on Chrome books. Students will be given questions based on their correct/incorrect answers to help provide a more accuracy level of measurement.
Our teachers have been preparing for these assessments through their instruction in the classroom. This includes a shift in the way that students think, create thoughtful answers, and apply concepts. Please do not schedule appointments or trips during these dates.
