Message from the Principal
Dear Virginia Lake Families,
A huge thank you to our PTA for hosting our Book Fair last week! The students and staff enjoyed shopping. We also want to thank our PTA for hosting the Grandparents Reading Night and breakfast for our Veterans. Virginia Lake is so lucky to have such a supportive PTA!
Report cards will be available for families on Friday, November 18th after 4:00 p.m. Please log into your Infinite Campus parent portal to view your child’s grades. The grading scale has changed this year, please view the key below for more information about your child’s progress. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions about grades.
Next week, Virginia Lake will be hosting Parent/Teacher conferences. Please be prompt to your child’s conference. Many of our staff members have back to back conferences. We want to make sure you have the allotted time to discuss your child’s progress this year.
Please check the lost and found while you are in the building if your child is missing items. All of the items will be donated, if they are not claimed.
Virginia Lake will be hosting our Family Holiday Program again this year. Last year, it was the generosity of our school community that made the holidays magical for so many of our students. We have over 100 students in need of gifts for the holidays this year. Wish lists include clothing, shoes, and one toy. If your family would like to adopt a student, please contact Ms. Maria, majewskm@ccsd15.net or Mrs. Van Winkle, vanwinkp@ccsd15.net. Please share how many children you would like to adopt, and their wish lists will be shared with you the week of parent-teacher conferences. We are asking families to drop off gifts by Friday, December 16th. Gifts will be distributed on Monday, December 21st and Tuesday, December 22nd.
My newsletter will resume after Thanksgiving Break. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Let’s make it a great week!
Warmest Regards,
Patti Van Winkle, Principal
Virginia Lake Veterans
