Wednesday 3\/16\u2014<\/strong>VCS Board Meeting 6:00 PM Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the lifting of the state\u2019s mask mandate for public and private schools to take effect\u00a0after<\/strong>\u00a0Friday, March 11. At Thursday\u2019s Special Board Meeting, the VCS board voted to follow the state and county recommendations.\u00a0Starting Monday, March 14, children, regardless of vaccination status, will no longer be required to wear masks at school.\u00a0 Even though California will no longer require masks to be worn in classrooms, masks will be\u00a0strongly recommended\u00a0<\/strong>for students. We ask that you take some time this weekend to talk with your child(ren) about your family\u2019s choice regarding masking indoors. I have no doubt that the VCS community will handle this next transition with kindness, respect, and grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put your spare change towards a great cause!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not sure what to do with your pennies or loose change? \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Starting Monday, March 14th<\/sup>, jars will be in each classroom Start saving your change\u2014it can make a big difference!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out our website for more information on how you can support this year\u2019s event and help us reach our goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n http:\/\/www.creekcleanathon.villagecharterschool.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Excitement is beginning to build\u2026 Don\u2019t forget to SAVE THE DATE!\u00a0It’s time to start planning for the Village Charter School’s\u00a08th\u00a0<\/strong>Annual Creek Clean-a-Thon on\u00a0Saturday, April 23rd.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a special passion for our school’s environmental mission?
