ANNUAL GRANDPARENT'S DAY

We look forward to having you join us on this exciting day!

SCRIP
Thank you to all of you that have become a member of our Scrip program.  For those of you that may be unfamiliar with this program, Scrip allows you to purchase gift cards for day to day purchases from our most popular stores and restaurants or to give as a gift for special occasions.  Each card purchased produces a profit which is split between the school and the participants. The portion to the participants is applied as a tuition discount for re-enrollment. For more information, please go to www.shopwithscrip.com. Continue to watch for additional information to go home weekly with your child and an upcoming fall kick-off so that you too can become a Scrip participant to begin saving money towards your child's VCS re-enrollment!

What is K2BK?
K2BK (Kool 2 Be Kind) is our elementary kindness/anti-bullying program that begins in January (2nd semester). You may purchase the latest K2BK t-shirt to wear on any Friday jeans day. Forms will be sent home shortly. At the close of last school year, we celebrated 3,683 individual acts of kindness!  For more information about the program, please go to www.kool2bkind.org.

Check Grades/Attendance Online
Within the next few weeks, you will be able to access your child's grades and attendance on line using our program called PowerSchool! Please check in at the Main School Office to receive your login and password.  Think of it as an "everyday integrade report."
