🎃 VCS Trunk or Treat Tuesday, October 28th | 5:00–6:30 PM
Location: The Village Charter School — Side Parking Lot
Picture Day has been postponed. The new date is Tuesday, November 4th. Picture envelopes will be sent home early next week.
This is a friendly reminder about our updated procedures for student tardiness:
If your child arrives after 8:15 AM, a parent or guardian must come into the building to sign them in. We kindly ask that parents or guardians come inside rather than dropping students off at the door. This helps us ensure accurate attendance and a safe, smooth start to the school day.
We truly appreciate your continued support and cooperation. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at tflim@villagecharter.org.
Warm regards,
Dr. Theresa Flim
