2nd Graders Transitioning to 3rd Grade
2nd Grade Students will visit Fancher on Fri. May 27th in the afternoon. They will get a chance to tour the building, meet staff and do an activity or two while they are there. This fieldtrip is meant to help them transition and feel comfortable moving to their new school next year.
Have you Moved?
Have you recently moved? If so, please call our office so we can change your address for our records and to be sure any summer and Back to School mailings get to you.
If your address is no longer a Vowles address, you will need to fill out School of Choice paperwork to stay at Vowles School for the 2022-2023 School Year.
We want to ensure your child's enrollment and classroom placement for next year is not last minute and stressful for you. Please be sure to keep us updated throughout the summer. Leave us a message at 775-2280.

Student Attendance
For safety reasons, families will receive a phone call by 10:20 am for any student that is marked as Absent each morning in Power School. You can deter getting that call from our system by calling us in the morning to let us know of your child's absence and their reason for the absence.
Our codes we use for absences are:
UA-Unexcused Absence
Any absence that has not been reported by a parent or guardian and/or any absence that is not listed as an Excused Absence in Board Policy.
AV-Verified Absence
An absence that the parent verifies or explains. Example: (1) The student doesn’t feel well, and is staying home, but is not visiting the doctor. (2) The family is taking an extra long weekend, vacation, etc.
EA-Excused Absence
Absences that meet the definition of an Excused Absence based on MPPS Board Policy.
*Illness or professional appointments with a doctors note *Death of a relative
*Observance of Religious Holidays
