Progress reports will go home next Monday, April 29.

There will be Saturday School this Saturday, April 27, for those who require it for Attendance Recovery.

For the rest of the year, there can be no charges in the cafeteria. Please take care of any lunch money that is owed. Everything must be clear prior to the end of school. If students do not have money in their account, they will need to bring a lunch.

Easter/ Spring break will be from Monday, April 15 through Tuesday, April 23. All students will return on Wednesday, April 24.

If you will be PCS-ing soon, please know that the earliest you may do so with finalized grades is May 10. If you already have orders, please go ahead and stop by the school and give us a copy. Please call the office for more information or if you have questions.

Just a reminder that Parent Drop Off does not begin until 7:05 AM each morning. Please do not arrive before then.

Make sure students have a positive start to their day and make sure they have a good breakfast at home or at school. Try to help them get plenty of rest each night as well.

We continue with LEAP testing this week on Thursday and Friday. Please make sure your child is here all day, every day, and that they are well rested and have eaten a good breakfast.

After school tutoring is available from 3:15 - 4:15 on Mondays and Wednesdays. This is a peer tutoring activity sponsored by the Beta Club. Any student can stay as long as they have their parent's permission and someone picks them up from school.

Please remember to send in a parent note or a doctor/ dentist/ appointment note when your child is absent. This way they are not assigned to Saturday School or referred to Truancy Court.

Students are not to be dropped off in the main office right before bell time. This is not allowed. Parents must drive around to the drop-off area. The only time a student may come in through the office is if they are being signed in late.

VMS loves our parent volunteers! Please consider helping out with our school. Contact our Title 1 Coordinator, Jennifer Carter.

Transportation changes must be made before 2:00 PM and be in writing. No child may be checked out after 2:30 PM. The front drive is for staff & buses only. All parent drop-offs and pick-ups must enter from the east side of the campus, go around the back of the school, and drop off or pick up at the west end of the campus. There are NO drop offs out front or in the office.

School begins each day at 7:45 AM. Students who come in after 7:45 AM must be signed in by a parent, and the student will be marked tardy. We do have a tardy/ early out policy. This policy is in the Handbook you received in the blue folder. Students who exceed the allowable number of tardies/ early outs in a six weeks will be required to make up the time after school.
