Here is a link to our district-wide calendar for the year.
Pick-UpWe now have our Curbsmart pickup down to 17 minutes. Nice work! Please remember to pull all the way in to the curb so that your back end of the car is not in the left thoroughfare lane. Also, after you have picked up your child, please still drive slowly and with caution after you round the pickup lane corner. Thanks for keeping our children safe. If you need to make ANY changes to your child's pick up please contact the Front Office before 2:30 pm to allow us time to update Curbsmart. | Safety & Security at SchoolThe District has developed a Safety & Security page and it has been added to the front page of our school website. It contains information that we are sharing with our families about what we are already doing to keep our community safe, and it also mentions our current security audit. You can find the link in the box under the College & Career Ready Report located on the front page of the VV website. | Bus App for Parents Please read the attached flyer below for instructions on how to upload our new Bus App. This App will allow you to track your child while on the bus. |

Meet the CounselorsCheck out this video your school counselors created and was shown to students this week. | Lost & FoundPlease remember to label your child's belongings including their lunchbox, water bottles, backpack and anything else that could get misplaced at school.
