Entrance Doors 

This is a friendly reminder for late students to enter through the front door.  If students are on time, they are to meet their teacher and enter the school through their designated door. The kindergarten door is only for the kindergarten students.  Thank you in advance for your help with this.

PhysEd 

Dear VAS Community, A huge "thank you!" to all of our parent volunteers who were able to find time in their busy schedules to come assist with our Alien Inline residency. Our students did an excellent job of progressing through various skills and challenges throughout the month of October. If you haven't had the chance, please fill out our Feedback Form on the residency! 

For the month of November, please ensure your child has appropriate indoor shoes that can be used in the gym. Crocs, sandals, and flats are not acceptable. Running shoes are recommended for proper support of their ankles and cushioning of their soles. 

Pumpkin Patch 

Thank you Varsity Acres parents and students for another outstanding pumpkin patch - champs de citrouilles! 

What amazing creativity and participation! Joyeux Halloween!
