SPOTLIGHT:

 

6:30 p.m. Thursday: TALENT SHOW/ LETTERING/ SENIOR AWARDS NIGHT!

Come to the Talent Show at 6:30 pm on Thursday, May 8 and witness some amazing acts performed by Vision students. This Talent Show is set to be the best ever. The acts are diverse and of exceptional caliber. From singing (even in Latin) to comedy to musical instruments to dance, the night is sure to provide plenty of entertainment. A brief intermission will honor students earning a letter for VCS activities. Stay after the show to help celebrate our Senior students and their accomplishments during their time at VCS.


DRESS CODE Reminders:

 

It is that time of year when it is getting hotter outside and the summer clothes start coming out of the closet. Please ensure that your children are reminded that shorts, jumpers, skorts, and skirts need to touch the top of the knee to meet dress code standard. Additionally, no sleeveless shirts are allowed. Appropriate sleeve length includes short (mid bicep), ¾ or longer sleeves (including PE shirts). The shirt must cover midriff (even when arms are raised).  Thank you for helping us to review these standards with all students.
