Vigo County School Corporation Families:

As we told you in August, the VCSC Facebook Page has been silent for several weeks. Although we have many wonderful stories we would like to share, we are experiencing difficulties with Facebook support for our page. We are currently unable to respond or post.

Thankfully, we seem to be getting a response from Facebook support and hope to return to sharing information on Facebook soon. Thank you for your patience as we work with technical support.

While we continue to work to resolve this issue, we will rely on sharing through our School Messenger texts, calls, and emails. This has always been and will continue to be where all vital information is shared.  While Facebook is a great way to share good news and other information, it has never been our primary means of communication.  

On Monday, September 19, 2022, the Vigo County School Corporation will observe a Board Approved two-hour delay.

Our staff will engage in ALICE training, a program to assist faculty with school safety techniques and strategies.

We realize the challenge this may pose to our families, but believe our commitment to school safety makes this a wise decision.
