What is your favorite thing about VCS? I enjoy working from home, the flexibility that our students have, and the fact that our students learn more about technology than they would in a traditional school, because we use it every day!!!
What do you want students to accomplish while they attend VCS? VCS gives students even more great opportunities than they would have in regular schools. I hope that each one of my students works hard to achieve his/her "personal best", and I try to do whatever I can to help them along the way!
What advice do you want to pass on to students? Don't procrastinate!!! (That means don't wait until the last minute to do stuff.) School work is so much easier when you don't get behind. Also, remember to ASK FOR HELP when you need it! That's what your teachers are here for, and we love to help our students. But, we aren't mind-readers! We don't know that you need our help if you don't tell us!!!

At Tuesday's meeting, you received information about our summer school program. We are very excited to offer summer school for grades 6, 7 and 8 this year! We think this is a unique program, and we hope many schools take advantage of it. The cost for a full-time course is $249 for non-VCS students and $149 for full-time VCS students. A half-credit course costs $169 for non-VCS students and $99 for full-time VCS students. The courses for grades 6, 7 and 8 will be charged at the half-credit rate. For a complete list of courses,
