School Council Update
| Vanderlyn's School Council voted against signing of Letter of Intent to create a charter cluster in Dunwoody. At this point, we feel there are more questions than answers regarding the benefits of this relatively new concept. Please see the minutes from our April 22 meeting on the school council section of the Vanderlyn website .
For additional information or questions please contact Tina Wilkinson at tinaw@wilkinsons.com . |

By clicking the link below you can purchase your child's customized school supply kit to be delivered directly to the school. You will no longer have to go to stores to shop for school supplies....just pick up your kit at Meet and Greet(the day your child meets his/her teacher this August) and carry the box directly to the classroom.
Let's make starting the fall semester a little bit easier!
*This is not a fundraiser*
