Greetings VHA Friends and Family,

I hope this message finds everyone well and excited about returning to school. I wanted to share some important tools you will need on Monday morning, March 1, 2021.

Please remember, school starts at 7:30 a.m., instruction begins at 8:00 a.m. and any students arriving after 8:15 a.m. are considered tardy.

All students both Hybrid and Remote are expected to join our school wide Morning Meeting by logging into the Google Meet

While we are happy to address any questions or concerns you may have, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher first for the most accurate information. Please check your class dojo and/or the VHA School website (www.vhaelementary.org) for all official communication. Have a wonderful weekend, be safe and we can't wait to see our students on Monday.

Respectfully,
Kia R. Banks
