Vaughan Voice
Campus Parent Communication - May 6
I can't believe we only have two weeks left of school! We have so many things planned for students as we are finishing up the 2021-2022 school year (see details below). One of my favorite parts of this time of year is getting to see and hear about all the growth our students have made this past year. It is incredible to see academic growth, but even more amazing is the social and emotional growth we have seen this year. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child's education.
Next week we will begin STAAR testing in grades 3-6. No visitors or volunteers will be allowed in the building. We appreciate your support in ensuring your students are on time and prepared for school. I have no doubt students will do an excellent job showcasing all they know.
In addition, thank you for spoiling our staff this week for staff/teacher appreciation week! We truly appreciate your kind words, thoughtfulness, and generosity. Special shout out to our PTA for pampering us every single day with treats, lunches, and lots of LOVE!
Finally, the last day of school is Friday, May 20th. Students will release at 12 PM. Sixth graders will be released prior to that, please see more details below.
We appreciate your support in helping us make this a FABULOUS year!
Have a great weekend! Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you,
