SAT PREP CLASS  - TWO SPOTS LEFT!

VCS is proud to offer our first IEN teleconferencing SAT prep class from 7 a.m. -8 a.m. starting August 27th. The class meets three mornings a week. We have two spots left which may go to interested 9th -12th grade students on a first come first serve basis. Parents or students must e-mail Mrs. OldenKamp at wendyoldenkamp@visioncsd.org to register. 

BUS TO THE YMCA!

Vision Charter School is offering bus transportation after school to the YMCA for members of the YMCA. Interested parents MUST get the form from the YMCA, have the YMCA validate the form that the child is a member, and then the form must be brought back to the school prior to any student being allowed to ride the bus to the YMCA. These rules are strictly enforced by the YMCA, Caldwell Transportation, and VCS. This is an amazing opportunity. Please go to the link to download the form.  Children must be enrolled in a YMCA youth activity or at least 10 years old to ride the bus and take advantage of this opportunity.

HOT LUNCHES

The Hot Lunch free/reduced applications for school year 2012-2013 are now available on our website under "VCS News". They are available in both English and in Spanish. All applications may take up to 10 business days to be approved.

Our lunches are catered and brought in by Oasis Food Service. The lunches adhere to the NSLP guidelines. Because we do not have a kitchen at the school, it is necessary to pre-order lunches, even if you qualify for free lunches.

All Lunches are ordered using orderlunches.com website. The window to order lunches is the same every month - the 12th - 22nd of the month prior. For September lunches, payment must be received by August 30th.

The cost for lunch is $2.85/regular price or $0.75/reduced price. You may also have the option of ordering a-la-carte milk at $0.40/day.

For those parents who are new to our school, you will need to register on the orderlunches.com website. It is a very user-friendly website. To set up an account, you will need to follow these simple instructions:

Click on "register"

Enter the school password which is vcs177

Follow the prompts to enter yours and your children's information.

Reminder: If your child is going to be tardy, please contact the office by 8:30 a.m. If you do not, we will assume your child will be absent, and will cancel the hot lunch.

If you have any questions, please email sheree.knapp@visioncsd.net or call the school office 208-455-9220.
