Thank you for your help!

It takes so much to get our little school ready for the school year and we could not do it without you! To the PA for your summer support, planning, and community building over the summer—Thank you!

And thank you to the following people who came in on Wednesday (and other days) and made a huge dent in all the tasks that need to get done before the children arrive: Scott Chapman (check out the incredible TK outdoor classroom he built for us), Mike Lennox (brave blackberry buster), Patrick Nolan (you moved so much bark), Eva Acker (organizer extraordinaire) and Rebecca Shroder for cleaning, Amber Napoleon (always in the garden), Mary (you are a master with a weedeater) and Darrell Locker, and Mitch Nunley and DryScape for your generosity and the yard materials. THANK YOU!

Reminder that our Mandatory Orientation is Monday 8/14 at 5:30. 

We will have childcare available.

Please bring the following with you:

· Driver’s License
· Insurance Declaration Page
· Current DMV printout (go to DMV website and follow steps)
· Any student/family paperwork you have not yet submitted
· Immunizations (if you haven’t yet submitted them to the office)
· $ for TruScan if you need to be fingerprinted (if you have already been fingerprinted for VCS you do not need to do it again—this is a onetime thing)
