I am delighted to announce the appointment of Jessica Neville to the position of Principal of Primary Grades (K to Grade 3). For the remainder of this school year, Jessica will incrementally transition into the role with the goal of assuming full responsibility for the department beginning in July.

Jessica will continue to oversee the Special Education department and programs as the Director of Student Services from K through 7. While Jessica will formally manage student services and counselling at VTT, the department will be restructured for the 2012-13 school year to include a counsellor to support students.


This leadership realignment will continue to build on the strengths we have collectively cultivated as a school. Jessica's assumption of additional responsibilities is a natural progression in her role of supporting faculty, students and parents. Janice St. Helene, VTT's Principal of Intermediate Grades and Director of Education, will continue in these leadership roles.

Shabbat Shalom,

Cathy Lowenstein, M.Ed.
Head of School

At least it didn't rain! Students, faculty and parents withstood cold, blustery wind to enjoy a day at the beach to celebrate Lag B'Omer. Of course, the adults felt the elements more acutely!
