IMPORTANT INFORMATION
*School Improvement Plan – When developing our School Improvement Plan the goal areas identified were reading comprehension and problem-solving skills. We are concentrating on both goals at all levels. Making a special time at home for reading is essential for all students! Try having a time where everybody reads and then shares what they read with one another. Also, try giving your child a weekly math story problem for them to solve. Being a good problem solver is a necessity!
*Good Attendance – Please make sure your child is at school each and every day unless they are ill. Make every effort to schedule doctor and dentist appointments after school. Please make every attempt to get your child to eat nutritious meals and get plenty of rest. Have your child complete missed assignments. School attendance is important! Thank you!
*Immunizations and Physicals – Fifth graders need to prepare for entrance to 6th grade with both immunizations and physicals in order to participate in sports. Middle school immunizations are Tdap and MCV.
*Emergency Cards/Skyward – Please let the school know as soon as possible if you have a change in address, phone number or emergency contact. This information is very important to us in case we need to get a hold of you during the school day. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
*Wellness Policy – In keeping with the guidelines of the Wellness Policy, parents and guardians are encouraged to support VCSC nutrition education efforts. All classroom celebrations involving food should encourage the use of healthy treats.
