FCPS Virtual Learning Academy
April 8, 2022
I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable spring break! It's hard to believe we only have 30 school days left in the 2021-2022 school year! As we approach the end of the year, we need to stay focused and dedicated to learning to prepare our students in 3rd - 8th, 10th and 11th grades for the Kentucky Summative Assessment in May. We want our students to show what they know on the assessment as they have all worked very hard this school year!
Please see below for information about our in-person MAP celebrations, EKU STEM summer camps, a free dental clinic through UK, PTSA and yearbook reminders.

VLA Book Buddies
One School, One Book = One Community
One School, One Book has begun! The elementary students are reading The Lemonade War; the middle school students are reading When Stars are Scattered; the high school students are reading Who Moved My Cheese. These books are free for each VLA student and can be picked up at VLA from 9-4 during the work week. The school community and business community of Lexington have all worked together to bring these books alive for our students through their read-alouds. The links to the videos can be found on our One School, One Book website. Students will have opportunities to attend Book Clubs and the Family Nights (all of these dates can be found on the website mentioned above). Student participation is optional. However, in saying that, there are many benefits from being read-aloud too.
