From the Managing Director's Desk, Aug. 11, 2019

Dear Viking Families, 

Good afternoon! We hope that you all had a wonderful first week as we did! We thank you all so much for following our directions related to safety and arrival/dismissal to help get our children on and off campus safely and quickly.  The start of the year already gave us time to practice our sever weather drills and protocols 😊 As we enter week two, please remember to ask your children at the end of the day what they learned and how you can help at home.  We are exciting for this new year and look forward to jumping right into our work. At the end of last year, all staff had an intensive training in Project Based Learning to focus on the mission and vision of our school.

I can’t begin to put into words how great this week has been for me, our staff and students! 

Our teachers worked all through the summer to prepare for the return of our children. Their rooms are clean thanks to our wonderful Mr. Robert Frye.  During the summer and workdays, teachers brought in new rugs, new decorations, prepared bulletin boards, hung instructional materials and all the other necessities to guarantee a smooth opening.

Dear VAMS Families,

Wow, the first four days of school were terrific!  It was exciting to see all of our students both “old and new”! I am so very proud of how our students returned to school – ready to learn, as well as, displaying proper school behavior.  Many of our students have exhibited our Core Values which are: Confidence, Empathy, Integrity, Reflection, and Curiosity. I can tell 2019-2020 is going to be a fantastic school year!

Care Program Updates

WOW! We’ve gotten through week 1 of school and it has been AMAZING! This summer, the Care Program Team spent time earning certificates in “Basic School Age Care,” and “Interactive Games and Character Education.” We are continuing to be very strategic about the activities and interactions that we encourage during after school hours. We have a diverse group of people who LOVE kids and ENJOY finding ways to help them develop socially, emotionally, and academically. Here are some candid photos of the staff in our trainings!
