Dear VCS Families,
We regret to inform you that our Family Skating Event, originally scheduled for this Sunday, must be postponed due to a scheduling conflict at The Rink Skating Center. We received a call from The Rink Skating Center earlier today notifying us of the scheduling conflict. We sincerely apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause.
The event will be rescheduled for a later date in March. Families who paid in advance will receive a full refund on Monday.
As a gesture of appreciation for your understanding, we will be offering a reduced admission and skating fee for families who sign up early for the rescheduled event.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility. We look forward to celebrating with you in March!
Warm regards,
Dr. Flim

Dear VCS Families,
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
