To our VG Community,
We are entering the last official full month of school, WOW...sometimes it is hard to believe that we are already here. We have all of our incredible end of the year annual events planned!!!
The Amazing Race & Auction is our last fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who has already bought an Amazing Race Ticket for their family. The Race has officially begun! Have you found a Suzy Grande yet?
We are excited to end our school year with our Annual Talent Show, Annual Award Ceremony and a scaled back Field Day. We also have a few exciting 5th Grade Events to finish off this unique school year.
Thank you to everyone for your participation following our safety protocols in the parking lot.
When you enter the lot, please PULL ALL THE WAY FORWARD to the main crosswalk, this will help us get more cars in the lot at one time. Also, thank you for being extra careful at the main crosswalk, and only letting your kids out of the car on the correct side depending on if you are on the MPR or Diablo Rd. side.
MAY HERE WE COME!!!!
Your principal,
:) Osi Juergens
Vista Grande's school auction is the largest fundraiser of the year. We are $54,000 away from keeping 100% of our paraeducator, art, music and technology programming intact. Together, we can absolutely hit this goal!

Scaled Back Field Day
We will hold a very low key Field Day run by Mr. Glimme and our teachers, paraeducators, and staff. We are working on how to get all our Remote students who want to join us onto campus to enjoy some on campus time as well.
Each grade will have about 45 minutes to enjoy 3-4 stations. More info. to follow as we finalize details
Updated: 5/3
Remote students who will not be joining on campus for the scaled back field day event will receive links for asynchronous PE type activities.

Both events occur on Remote Days and ALL 5th grade students will have the chance to come onto campus to participate.

Water Bottles
Teachers give in person students multiple water/mask breaks throughout the day and students always have the ability to ask their teacher for a water/mask break as well.
All students bring their water bottles out to PE and have guided mask/water breaks plus they can take a mask/water break any time throughout their class.
Please consider donating disposable water bottle to your classroom so teachers have extra water on hand if students forget their water bottles.
