Dear VAP Families,

This Wednesday, we celebrate Lunar New Year, a time to welcome good fortune and new beginnings. Additionally, Black History Month begins this Saturday, February 1st. Stay tuned to see how our students will honor this important month through projects, activities, and celebrations highlighting the contributions and achievements of Black leaders, artists, and innovators.

Today is the final day for priority re-enrollment! If you’re planning to re-enroll, make sure to submit your registration today to take advantage of the discounted registration fee. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure your spot for the upcoming school year.

The quarter ended last Friday, and this Friday, January 31st, will be a teacher in-service day, meaning there will be no school for students. Our dedicated teachers will use this time to finalize report cards and prepare for next week’s Student Recognition Ceremonies.We’re excited to celebrate our students’ hard work and accomplishments during the ceremonies. Dates and times for these events can be found below.

Congratulations to our talented students who were selected as winners in the Rancho Water District Poster Contest! These students were recognized at a special awards event last Thursday. Their names are listed below, and their creative work makes our school so proud.

Our Valentine’s Day Candy Gram fundraiser is underway and runs until February 7th. Proceeds will benefit our sister school in Altadena, supporting families affected by the recent wildfires. Sending a candy gram is a wonderful way to spread kindness while helping a great cause. For purchasing details, see the information below.

Thank you for your continued support of our vibrant VAP community. Let’s make the coming weeks productive, joyful, and memorable!

Our priority re-enrollment window for the 2025-26 school year is Monday, January 13, 2025, through Monday, January 27, 2025. During this period, currently enrolled families can secure their child’s spot for the upcoming school year and a registration fee discount, before we open enrollment to new families. To complete your re-enrollment, visit Campus Connect using your primary email as your username and click the “Student Enrollment” tab.

We’re looking forward to another great year with your family as part of our community!

What better way to wrap up our Word of the Month: Teamwork than by cheering on our NFL flag football teams and cheerleaders this week. These amazing athletes have shown us the true meaning of working together, supporting one another, and striving for success as a team.

We’re also so excited to acknowledge students next week at February's morning flag assembly who truly embodied this word. Let’s finish the month with a strong sense of teamwork and school spirit!

As we welcome the first week of February, we’re excited to celebrate a special birthday this week, as well as send one more round of birthday wishes to two of our amazing teachers from late January!

Miss Hunter – February 1st
Miss Hunter has a way of brightening every room she enters with her generosity, warm-hearted nature, and sense of humor. Her positivity and kindness leave a lasting impression on everyone she meets, making her an invaluable part of our school family.

And a huge Happy Birthday again to Mr. Josiah (January 27th) and Mr. Mitch (January 30th)! Thank you both for your incredible energy, dedication, and the joy you bring to our school every day!
