Alice Vail MS Student ID Update:
📢 Important Update for Families
Going forward this year, students must bring their school ID with them every day. IDs are required as part of the sign-in process if a student arrives late. If a student does not have their ID, they will need to visit the library to request a replacement.
Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth and efficient process!
GO FALCONS! 🦅

Verizon Innovative Learning Schools
If your child is interested in creating stop motion animations, they are welcome to spend the remainder of their lunch time, after eating, in our Library Media Center to work on those independent projects. These animations develop many digital skills and yield tremendous results. One app we use is Stikbot Studio, found on the school iPads.
