Dear Vernon Community,
As we reach the midpoint of the school year, I want to take a moment to recognize the challenges we've encountered and extend our heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering support. Despite unexpected breaks and external factors beyond our control, our staff is working diligently to optimize the instructional time we share with our students.
We understand that unforeseen disruptions can impact the learning journey, but your dedication to ensuring your children are present at school and aiding them in developing resilience, persistence, and grit in the face of challenges has been truly uplifting. Your collaboration plays a pivotal role in crafting a positive and enriching educational experience for our students.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the school year, we are enthusiastic about the opportunities that await us. With your continued support, we are confident in our ability to capitalize on the time remaining, nurturing further growth and learning among our students. Together, we can foster an environment where each child not only excels academically but also flourishes personally.
We extend our deepest gratitude for being integral members of our Vernon community. Anticipating the remarkable progress our students will achieve, we eagerly anticipate working collaboratively towards a successful and fulfilling academic year.
Vernon Proud!
