Dance Team-We are happy to announce that the Schiek sisters would once again like to lead a Warriors Dance Team! This is has been a great demonstration of rhythm and agility and a wonderful way to involve even more of our Lady Warriors in sports here at VCS. All of the details are not available just yet, but Abby and Brittany would like to have an idea of how many girls are interested and be able to communicate with interested parents directly. This is not a commitment, but if your grade 4-12 daughter has interest in the Warriors Dance Team, please complete the form below. In years past there has been one practice per week and performances at a few home basketball games. Details will shared as soon as they are available.
Please read below about Grandparents Day and November After School Clubs.

After School Care Half Day Sign Ups:It is very helpful to the ASC staff to have an idea of how many children they can expect. Early dismissal (half) days attendance tends to differ from “normal” school days. If you could let us know if you intend to have your child(ren) in After School Care on any of the upcoming early dismissal days it will help ASC be prepared with the right amount of staff, snacks and crafts. Please let Mrs. Davis know by completing this quick online form.
AUGUST 24, 2018
After School Care: will resume normal care hours (3:15-5:30 pm) beginning Aug. 27. Registration forms are due before you may send your child to care at any time throughout the school year. You will find that form here and in the Back to School tab of the forms portal.
