Parent Newsletter
Greetings Vose Families,
Happy Friendship Week! Your students have been talking about friendship
and being kind to one another in recent weeks. The school is decorated and
ready for the Friendship Dance! Please join us Friday evening from 6-8pm.
Cost is $5 per family. Food and beverage will be available for purchase.
Thank you to all the families who have supplied food donations. We are
grateful! The music teachers have prepared some great music and the
students are ready to get their dance moves on. Come celebrate!
We had a great turnout last month for the New School meeting held on Jan
20th. Thanks to the parents and community members who came to listen, ask
questions, advocate for our school and show support. We will continue to
keep you updated as information becomes available regarding both the new
construction and the transitional school for next year. We would also like to
thank the families and community that supported Vose at McDonald’s for a
fundraiser night on Jan 27th. Over $800 was raised for our school. Stay
tuned for another McDonald’s fundraising event this spring.
Information has gone out to schedule parents for a Teacher Conference on
Wed evening 3/2 or Thursday 3/3. This is an important time to collaborate
on your student’s progress in the classroom with their teacher. We greatly
appreciate the opportunity to partner together to support your student’s
learning goals. Please be prompt for your Conferences as Teachers have a
demanding schedule with meetings back to back. Each year Vose continues
to become an amazing learning community and we are proud to be in
partnership to support your students to maximize their learning.
Thank you,
Veronica Galvan, Principal
