Happy New YearOur VES family wishes you a New Year filled with cheer, happiness, prosperity, and joy! | Character TraitThis month we will be focusing on the character trait of self-discipline. When students apply self-discipline, they control their own feelings and actions. It can help them stay on task and resist temptations. It is a critical skill needed to help learn and make good choices. Sources to share with your family can be found https://calcasieu.suite360sel.org/ School AP code: calcasieu | Martin Luther King Everyone can help make a difference in the world through kindness and respect, just like Martin Luther King did. In observance of MLK Day, school will be closed Monday, January 16. |
