Vintage Hills Families
What fun it was to see our Huskies dressed in their sports jerseys and shirts! We had a lot of participation and got some great pictures for the yearbook! Thank you for your encouragement to join in our spirit days!
This week we have experienced some of the hottest days this summer. It's our number one priority to keep our students safe and comfortable at school. Please ensure your child stays hydrated by sending plenty of drinking water and having them wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. At school, we will be taking extra precautions by scheduling outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day, providing ample shade, eating indoors when needed and encouraging regular water breaks. We also have very specific hot weather guidelines that every school in our district is following. These guidelines can be found on our school website under the parent tab.
Thank you for your support in helping keep our huskies safe! We hope you all stay cool and hydrated this weekend!

Student Attendance is key!
One of our key goals this year is to reduce chronic absenteeism. Last year, our absenteeism rate was 19.5%, meaning that 1 in every 5 students at Vintage Hills missed 18 or more days of school. Attendance is directly linked to student achievement and their social-emotional well-being. We hope you will partner with us in ensuring that students attend school whenever possible. You can help by scheduling vacations, trips, and appointments during non-school days.
Join PTA for only $10! Buy VHES Spirit Wear by Sunday 9/8!
