Dear VAES Families,
We have had a busy and fun week at VAES!! I know we all enjoyed the snow, but it has been nice to get back into the school routine!
Don’t forget that we will have College Day every Thursday and Voyager Day every Friday. All staff, students, and parents can wear their favorite college apparel on Thursdays and Voyager apparel and/or our school colors (red, white, and blue) to show school spirit and pride on Fridays!!
Also, we have been displaying the notes for our staff on our “Only One You-You Can Make a Difference” bulletin board in the first grade hallway across from the science room. I’ve enjoyed reading the kind thoughts and messages posted. Due to the snow, we are extending the message writing for the current highlighted staff until Monday, January 29. We have blank note cards in a folder attached to the bulletin board. If you want to write a kind message, please come and take a note card from the bulletin board.

INCLEMENT WEATHER
Please remember that we will follow the DPS inclement weather advisories including delays, closures, and early dismissals. So, if DPS is closed, we will be closed. If DPS has a two hour delay, we will have a two hour delay. If DPS, has an early release due to inclement weather, we will dismiss early too. If you see that DPS is closed, delayed, or releasing early and you have not seen something for Voyager, know that we will be doing the same thing as DPS. We will post these on our website, alert the local TV stations, send a school connects message, and we will also send a REMIND text, as soon as we can.
