➤ Dia de los Muertos
Friday 11/8 5:30pm
We are honored to have you join us for this very special event. Students have been working hard and preparing for a lovely evening. Festivities begin at 5:30pm.
Please make sure to read all communications from your child’s classroom teacher. The teachers will let you know what your child needs to wear and when to arrive in the classroom. Students should arrive on campus dressed and fed.
Please bring your own cups for a hot beverage and something for our community ofrenda–a picture of a loved one or the favorite fruit, flower, or food of a loved one.
Note: After the event, we ask that you superives your own child(ren). They love to run and play in the dark, but you are responsible for them during that time.
We can always use extra help preparing for and cleaning up after this event. Click the link below to see how you can help or just show up! Thank you!

➤ Fall and Winter Intersession
VCS is offering intersession days during Thanksgiving and Winter breaks to support our students and families during these non-school days. Intersession days run from 8:00-5:00 (students can attend any portion of the day) and are available to students at no cost. Intersession days will include free play, group activities, and age/grade level appropriate academic support.
If you would be interested in having your child attend Intersession days, please complete and return the form sent out by Carolyn earlier this week so I can make sure the days are properly staffed.

➤ Enrichment Activity: Cocinando en Español
Hello VCS community! Carolina (Solomon and Noa’s mom) and Claudia (Lucía’s mom) will be offering an enrichment activity for students in TK-5th grades. Our intention is for kids to have fun cooking simple and delicious snacks while learning Español. Each week kids will learn vocabulary related to cooking and prepare their own snacks. The Cocinando en Español Activity will run for 5 weeks starting the week of Nov. 11th and ending the week of Dec. 16th (we won’t meet the week of Thanksgiving). We will meet each Tuesday from 3:30-4:30pm. Each week students will report to after care and will be picked up at 3:30 to start the activity. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Claudia (text 707-318-5466). We ask that students interested in participating sign up and fill out the form https://forms.gle/WrfRvDH2yxxG9aWU8
