Building Connections and Celebrating Growth: An October Message from CarolynOctober 31, 2025
We are wrapping up family conference week at both VCES and VCMS, with very close to 100% of our families attending! We are thankful for such an involved community of families and know that our students will benefit as research shows that family participation in school is one of the most significant levers for school connection and student achievement.

Culmination Countdown: Spring Highlights and Upcoming Events at VCS May 2025May 13, 2025
The time between spring break and the end of the year always goes fast, but this year time is compressed even more because of the late spring break. As culminations are around the corner, we are savoring all of our last moments with our 5th and 8th graders before they take their next steps. As always, time with them feels bittersweet.
