Message from the Principal

Dear Virginia Lake Families,

Happy November! We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for your incredible support in making our Halloween celebrations so special. Your efforts helped create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for all our students. We are so fortunate to have such a supportive and involved community.

A friendly reminder, there is no school on Tuesday this week. ECDEC is not in session on Monday. Our bilingual PreK program is in session.

We invite all students to participate in our Veterans Day celebration on Monday, November 11th. To show our appreciation for the brave men and women who have served our country, we encourage students to wear red, white, and blue that day.

We understand that reliable internet access is crucial for student success. If your family is experiencing difficulties accessing the internet, please consider submitting a hotspot request. This device will provide your child with a portable Wi-Fi hotspot to connect to the internet from home.

To request a hotspot, please email Ms. Pereyra, pereyrac@ccsd15.net and Ms. Tejeda, tejedar@ccsd15.net or call our school office.

Let's make it a great week!

Warmly,

Patti Van Winkle, Principal

Did you know? Daily attendance builds good habits for the future.
Tip: Create a family calendar to track school days and events. Aim for 9 or fewer absences for academic success!
