Time Change
Middle and High School Students! Back to School Night has just turned up the heat!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have hired a professional DJ to help our students celebrate the start of a new year! The music starts at 5:00pm sharp! You will be able to get your schedule, pay any fees for art, science, or symphony associated with your schedule, sign up and pay for drama, advanced guitar, or choir if desired, pick out your locker and locker buddy, put away your supplies, pick up your yearbook, and head outside for face painting, dessert, and DANCE LESSONS! Official dance lessons start at 5:15pm. Students will be able to learn a variety of dances and participate in fun activities prior to the start of the dance! The "official dance" will get rolling at 6:15pm after the lessons! Thanks to our amazing staff, the dance will last until 8pm! Don't forget your parents and their check books!  Parents are invited to leave the students at the school from 5:30pm - 8:00pm! Please remember to sign them in and out for safety reasons. (For those of you who are completely dance phobic, we will have board games available and plenty of opportunities to just sit and talk with new and old friends!)
 

BIG NEWS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have a new full sized basketball court going in on Monday! We are also working on preparing a sand volleyball court. (Thank you to Mr. Gibson!!!!)  The parking lot is also being painted on Monday. (Please do not park on the parking lot until Tuesday.) Please be watchful of the workers as they put in the fence on Monday and Tuesday, too. Thank you to all of the VCS familes who helped this past week. You were all such a blessing to VCS and the staff! Your hours of dedication moving rocks, laying sod, painting, cleaning, and getting the school ready are so appreciated by all!
 
 

 
CALLING ALL INTERNS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following students have not yet spoken to their Cooperating Teacher to coordinate the pre school Intern hour requirement of 8 hours. Due to the late notice, if you are unable to fulfill your eight hours of service before school starts, please work with them to identify eight hours to serve the teacher after school hours during the first quarter. An internship is a fabulous opportunity for your child to develop a strong reference letter for future scholarships or job applications. Students who successfully complete the internship will be given a letter of recommendation from their cooperating teacher which will outline the job skills and traits evidenced during the year. Students are striving to earn recognition for being responsible, reliable, self motivated, a hard worker, flexible, trustworthy, strong communication skills, always doing their best, works well with others, and takes direction well. Students will also be working to develop specific job related skills such as technology skills, working with students, data entry, attention to detail, and organizational skills. We are excited to offer this opportunity to our exceptional ninth and tenth grade students. Please contact the teacher directly to discuss the times that would work best for them on Monday or Tuesday or a later time if needed. Please contact me at wendyroldenkamp@msn.com if you have additional questions.

MEET THE TEACHER NIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kindergarten through sixth grade students and parents are invited to attend "Meet the Teacher Night" from 5-7pm on Tuesday, August 17, 2010! Parents will be able to meet staff, see the classrooms, assist their child in putting away school supplies, and check out the new site!

Vision will hold a Silent Auction for Boise Open tickets valued at $70 a ticket! All proceeds will go to the new playground. Thank you to Board Chairman, Lee Hannah for donating these tickets to benefit Vision Charter School.

All parents and students are invited to bring a dessert to share with other families as we celebrate the ribbon cutting of Vision Charter School and the playground dedication at 6:45 pm. This will be a great time to reconnect with old friends and make new friends!

TIME CHANGE FOR RIBBON CUTTING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.... 6:45pm Monday evening:
To ensure the staff and all of our families will be able to join us for the ribbon cutting and playground dedication, we have decided to move it to the end of the Meet the Teacher Night. We will close the classroom doors at 6:40pm and bring all of the staff out for the dedication and ribbon cutting. We would like to include all of our students, parents, and staff in the picture for the Middleton Gazette. Please join us at 6:45pm out at the basketball court and playground.
