State testing is just around the corner, please note the following protocol regarding cell phones during the testing window:

Cellular, messaging, or wireless devices have the capability of recording, reproducing, or transmitting secure test content. For this reason, students’ cell phones, smart watches, pagers, iPods®, tablets, and other non-approved, web-enabled communication devices must be turned off and kept out-of-view and reach until the test session is complete (for all students in that test session). Once all secure test materials have been collected, accounted for, and secured, these devices may be returned to students. It is important that school administrators and staff establish and communicate this policy to students as use of these devices during state assessments will result in the students test being invalidated.

Please let the office know if you have changed your phone number, emergency contact information, email or your address. We need to be able to contact you if there is an emergency with your student.

Immunization Changes for 2020-2021 School Year

We want your child to start school on the first day of school. Please make sure your child’s immunizations are up to date before you register your child for the 2020-2021 school year. You can avoid the back-to-school rush in August by contacting your child’s doctor now to get the required vaccinations.

Beginning August 2020:

1. Children will not be able to start school unless they are in compliance with Washington state immunization requirements. https://www.doh.wa.gov/CommunityandEnvironment/Schools/Immunization

2. Medically verified immunization records will be required to complete the certificate of immunization status card for any newly enrolled student. https://www.doh.wa.gov/YouandYourFamily/Immunization/SchoolandChildCare/RuleChanges

VANCOUVER PUBLIC SCHOOL IS PLANNING THE ANNUAL KINDERGARTEN SPRING REGISTRATION

A three-year supplemental levy that will maintain current levels of programs and services in Vancouver Public Schools was recently approved by Vancouver voters with 60.51% yes votes. The levy will make up a multimillion budget shortage due to changes in state funding for education.

“I am extremely grateful to this community for providing more than 55 years of continuous financial support for our students and schools,” said Superintendent Steve Webb. “This election shows the value our voters hold for the education of our children and youth.”

For information about the levy, please visit vansd.org/levy.

Russian:

Спасибо, избиратели!

Трёхгодичный дополнительный налоговый сбор, который сохранит программы и услуги на уровне, предоставляемом Ванкуверским школьным районом в настоящее время, был недавно одобрен избирателями Ванкувера, при этом в поддержку налога проголосовало 60.51% избирателей. Эти средства восполнят многомиллионный дефицит бюджета, который возник в результате изменения предоставляемого штатом финансирования школьного образования.

«Я чрезвычайно благодарен жителям нашего района за то, что в течение 55 лет они предоставляют постоянную финансовую поддержку нашим учащимся и школам», - сказал Управляющий Ванкуверским школьным районом Steve Webb. - «Эти выборы продемонстрировали большое значение, которое наши избиратели придают получению образования нашими детьми и молодежью».

¡Gracias, votantes!

Un impuesto suplementario de tres años que mantendrá los niveles actuales de programas y servicios en el Distrito Escolar “Vancouver Public Schools” fue aprobado recientemente por los votantes de Vancouver con un 60.51% de votos a favor. El impuesto suplementario cubrirá un déficit multimillonario en el presupuesto debido a cambios en la financiación estatal de la educación.

“Le estoy extremadamente agradecido a nuestra comunidad por su continuo apoyo financiero para nuestros estudiantes y escuelas,” dijo el Superintendente Sr. Steve Webb. “Esta elección demuestra el valor que la educación de nuestros niños y jóvenes tiene para nuestros votantes.”

Just a reminder, if your student is vomiting and has diarrhea, and/or a fever they must remain out of school until it’s been at a full 24 hours since the last episode of vomiting or diarrhea, and they must be fever free for 24 hours without temperature lowering medication (like Tylenol, acetaminophen, Motrin, ibuprofen, etc).

Talk to your child about using good hand washing with plenty of soap and warm water, for at least 30 seconds of hand scrubbing. Wash every time before eating, after using the bathroom, and playing outside.

GEORGE C. MARSHALL ON FACEBOOK

Please be sure to 'like' and 'follow' our OFFICIAL school Facebook page. There is more than one page out there - look for our logo to be sure you have the right one. We will post about our school regularly.

WE HAVE GONE ELECTRONIC

Please be sure to update the office with your current email address. Most of our correspondence, for example: schedule changes, early release information, etc. will only go home electronically. We will no longer be printing hard copies. It is also the quickest way to reach a parent or guardian in the event of an emergency. If you are not sure of the email you have on file with us please contact the office and we would be happy to check it for you.

The Office CAN NOT take changes over the phone. Plans need to be made before your student comes to school and a written note signed by the Parent or Guardian must be received.

To insure we are able to continue keeping all students safe during the "go home" process at the end of the day teachers and the office need to know changes at the start of the day. If you are wanting your student to ride a different bus, or go home a different way, we need this in writing. Phone calls cannot be accepted for this.

NO NOTE = YOUR STUDENT WILL GO HOME ON THEIR NORMALLY SCHEDULED PLAN
