Message from the Principal
Dear Virginia Lake Families,
We hope this newsletter finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to remind you about a few important upcoming events:
Please remember that Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, November 25th and Tuesday, November 26th. Many of our teachers have tight schedules. Please arrive at your scheduled time.
As a reminder, Tuesday, November 19th is an eLearning Day. Students will complete their assignments online at home and engage in a Google Meet during the school day. Please ensure your child has access to a device and reliable internet connection.
We are excited for our upcoming PTA Reading Night and Book Fair! Students will be previewing books on Monday, November 18th and shopping on Wednesday and Thursday. PTA Reading Night will will be held on Wednesday November 20th from 5:30-7:00 p.m.. Join us for a fun-filled evening of reading, activities, and book shopping.
We are thrilled to partner with Panda Express for a reading incentive! Students who read 5 books and turn in their completed bookmarks will receive a coupon for a free kid's meal at Panda Express. Students need to log their books on their bookmarks and turn them in to their teacher for their free meal voucher. A special thank you to our PTA for coordinating this incentive for our students.
My newsletter will resume after Thanksgiving Break. Happy Thanksgiving!
Let's make it a great week!
Warmly,
Patti Van Winkle, Principal
