From Miss Angela
Congratulations goes out to our Science Olympiad team. They had their third and final competition this past weekend and brought home some medals. Overall, our team place ninth our of 20 teams in the Inland Regional Competition. The medal winners include: Lillien Winiger, Dhilan Patel, Parker Yoo, Lila Fletcher, Shreya Costanza, Michael Phan, Oliver Lee, Serik Kuandyke, and Ishmael Mayagoitia. Well done!
We would like to welcome a new face to our middle school staff, Mr. Dash. He will be taking over Miss Erin's classes as she will be on maternity leave beginning tomorrow. Mr. Dash was a member of our first graduating class at Van Avery Prep. He attended Chaparral High School and went on to play football at the University of Washington. We are excited for Dash to be back on campus. Please give him a warm welcome if you see him.
We hope that you all enjoy your Spring Break.

Spring CTP Testing Dates

Middle school will begin testing on May 2nd and finish by May 10th. Our testing window closes on May 10th. More specific information will be shared in the coming weeks.
Parking After School
We kindly remind you to refrain from parking in handicap parking spots without the appropriate placards, and to avoid double parking in the fire lanes during high volume times.
Respecting handicap parking spaces is essential to accommodate those with mobility challenges. Using these spots without the appropriate placards not only hinders accessibility but is also against the law.
Additionally, double parking in fire lanes poses a serious safety risk, especially during busy periods. In case the designated parking areas are full, we recommend utilizing street parking or parking at the church next door.
Dress Code Reminders
-With the cool morning and afternoon temperatures, please make sure your child has their VAP outerwear. Additionally, now is the time to make sure that your child is meeting all dress code requirements including shoes, belts, outerwear, and haircuts and personal jewelry.
Tuition
Tuition is due on the first of each month. Please make sure your ALMA account is updated. If you have any questions or require any assistance, please stop by the office.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Locations
Please drop students off at the gymnasium between 6:30 - 7:30 a.m. After 7:30 a.m., students should be dropped at the gate closest to their classroom. Pick-up after 4:30 p.m. will also be in the GYMNASIUM.
