Vinewood Weekly Bulletin 10-30-23

This is a reminder that the Spring Book Fair is coming up Tuesday April 8th thru Friday April 11th. We are psyched for our students to get their hands on more books for their bookshelves and libraries. It will be open before school, during lunch, and after school. Schedule is below.

Parents can only come on campus during after school hours. See above for hours

The exception is Kindergarten parents who can come every day for some extra shopping time from 10:30am-12pm!

Please consider sending your child with cash or setting up an E-wallet account. E-Wallet allows the students to shop with a budget you set.

Sign up for E-Wallet: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/vinewoodelementaryschool

Parents are allowed on campus to volunteer at the Book Fair.

We need LOTS of volunteers for jobs: setup, stocking, door and fair monitors, cashier, and break down. No experience is necessary to volunteer.

Sign up to volunteer here:

One last thing, if your child is planning to shop after school, please coordinate your pick-up times to not cause delays in the parking lot.

Thank you for being part of the success that makes these Book Fairs so vital to our school.

Lodi USD has released a new Middle School Course Catalog! It includes information about core subjects such as English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Science, Physical Education, and foreign languages (available at select sites). Please note that elective offerings vary by school, and site staff will provide additional details.
