RETURNING VCS STUDENTS
At registration for all returning students, proof of residency will be required. Please click the following link for required documents:
Documents Required for Proof of Residency
For families with students in multiple schools, residency documents need only be provided to one school during registration. After providing residency documents, parents/guardians will receive login information for their Skyward Family Access account.
