Virtual Learning Academy Newsletter

What's happening at VLA this week?
We enjoyed having students on campus to complete their KPREP testing this week! Thanks to the district assessment staff, Dr. Jenkins and Mrs. Clement for making KPREP happen for our students.
The 2021-2022 application window for new to VLA students is open and can be accessed from our school webpage. If you know a student that would be a great addition to VLA, please share the application information with them. The window is set to close May 14th. Current VLA families who plan to continue with VLA DO NOT need to complete the application, this is just for new students.
This week's newsletter has information about the following:
- Elementary Field Day
- Chromebook Collection for summer
- Student Success Story
- Derby Fun in 1st Grade
- Teacher spotlight
- Summer Program List from Partners for Youth
- PTA News
We just have 7 days of school left! Make each one count! Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!
VLA Chromebook Collection
Student Success Story: Hallie Oakes
Hallie will be recognized as one of the T2 Science Spotlight students this term. Hallie has perfect attendance for all Biology class Zooms and activities. In addition, she has a stellar record of turning in every assignment on or ahead of the pace. Hallie also excels with insightful answers and thoughtful discussion. I truly appreciate Hallie's hard work and dedication. Congrats Hallie!

And they're off! First Grade Derby Party
Teacher Spotlight: VLA Teachers!
- Hi! Just want to thank you for all you do. Your passion for teaching shows. Thanks for being a great teacher Michael and Micah!
- Good afternoon, Damien has told me you are his favorite teacher!
The admin team at VLA loves their teachers too! Being a completely virtual school, we don't get to celebrate teachers in the same way with them not on campus, so we sent care packages there way to let them know how much we appreciate all they day each day!
2021 Summer Break “I DO” Program List: Identifying Opportunities, Developing Relationships & Organizing Partnerships for Youth!
Program Providers and Community Partners work so hard to provide positive youth programming; and Partners for Youth wants to make sure that their efforts are recognized and supported. One way that we like to support them is to educate the community about the free and affordable positive youth programs they provide that are available in Lexington and the surrounding area. We do this by developing and maintaining the “I DO” program list from information they provide us; and distributing that list during the School year, spring break, and summer break to organizations and partners in our list serve so that they can share with their youth and families.
Thanks for being a Partner for Youth!
Sincerely,
Angie Green Hampton
