Happy New Year Slater Families!

The end of our first semester is approaching! The semester officially ends on Friday, January 24th. Teachers will have grades finalized on the morning of January 29th. We will use this time to determine student eligibility for extra-curricular activities. We plan to have report cards in the mail by February 3rd and will hold our Principal's List and Student of the Marking Period assembly on February 14th.

If you need any assistance viewing your child's grades and progress on PowerSchool, please feel free to email me at bworthing@svuvt.org.

Have a great weekend!
