Good afternoon! We hope you are enjoying the extended wonderful weather. We wanted to let you know we have already posted our new calendars for 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. Our goal is to always have 2 years of school calendars posted so you can plan ahead. We have also formally updated our enrollment (and returning family) policy to require all students attend school as soon as school begins or risk forfeiting their seat. The enrollment policy page and the attendance sections of our handbooks will be updated and published. We will send reminders in the Spring and a letter will be included with recommitments and new enrollment packets. We have also updated our Parent and Family Engagement Policy. This policy can be found under parent resources, documents. We will add a tab for Accountability this week. This policy is related to our Title 1 targeted assistance program. Please email me directly if you have questions about this policy.

I know it is only October, but the Board wants to make sure you have plenty of notice before making summer plans about a new aspect of our enrollment policy, which we adopted at our September meeting. The policy essentially requires students to attend school at the beginning of the school year to maintain their lottery spot (with specific exceptions for illness with a doctors’ note, religious observances, and so forth). Each parent will be asked to acknowledge the policy when they re-enroll or apply for a lottery spot. This policy applies equally to new applicants and current students.

Dear VAMS Families,
Friday was an extremely busy day at VAMS! We had lots of scheduled parent conferences. It was great seeing so many of our parents attending conferences. I also had the opportunity to attend several of the conferences which is great for me as I learn more about our students.
