This bulletin contains very important dates and before-school-starts information.
Please take a moment to focus on and read everything.
We do not have completed registration forms from the majority of our families. This must be done before the first day of school. If you have questions or need support with this process, please contact the office or stop by the school and we will help you get it done.

➤ Volunteer Campus Cleanup/Prep
Saturday, August 15, 8:00 AM – Noonish
All hands on deck! Tons of manual labor and prep work to be done to get ready for the new school year, to include basic plumbing, cleaning, weed eating, a potential dump run, and more. Bring tools if you have them. Childcare will be provided.
➤ First Day of School
The first day of school will be Wednesday, August 19th. This is a minimum day with 1:15 dismissal for all. Thursday and Friday will be full length days.
Parking and traffic is a challenge in the mornings. We share this space with NWP and SCOE and even with the staggered start time, things are tight. Please make sure that you practice patience and kindness! Arrive early, go slow, do not block SCOE buses, park only in legal spots, etc. The most important thing is that everyone stays safe and we model good behavior for the students. We will have volunteers out front to help direct traffic.
➤ Back to School Night and Potluck
Wednesday, September 2nd, time TBA
This will be a whole school gathering. Childcare will be provided. More details to come.
➤ Update Your VCS Office Email
The new contact for the VCS Office is Emma Kerfoot at officemanager@villagecharterschool.com.
Bulletins will continue to come from bulletin@villagecharterschool.com.
