Bus Application 2026-2027 School Year

The Village Charter School administration has proposed a strategic redesign of its 2026-2027 master schedule to optimize student learning and operational efficiency. By staggering lunch periods and eliminating transition waste, the school intends to increase instructional minutes while moving to an earlier daily dismissal. The new framework prioritizes protected literacy blocks, integrated intervention time, and uninterrupted core subjects for all grade levels. Additionally, the plan includes a daily social-emotional learning period, for which the board is evaluating three research-backed curricula: CharacterStrong, MindUP, and Second Step. This evidence-aligned approach ensures equitable instruction across the elementary and middle school divisions while supporting academic and behavioral growth.

To ALL Staff and Families:

A mix of snow / freezing rain and plain rain arrives 6-7:30 AM. Temps are currently 29-32 degrees, but pavements are running a bit warmer and are likely struggling. Minor accumulations favor colder surfaces before changing to mainly plain rain by 9 or 10 AM.

Be Safe!

Weather Alert
Due to the winter storm forecast, The Village Charter School will be closed tomorrow, Monday, Feb. 23.

The forecast calls for heavy snowfall tonight and temperatures falling a bit below freezing, which will allow for a significant build-up of snow on all surfaces. Snowfall rates of 1 - 2"/hr are expected most of the time from about 8 - 10 PM this evening through Monday morning. In addition, strong winds may occur, which could lead to blizzard conditions and some downed trees/power outages. Please stay warm and safe.
