Families, As we prepare to move into our EOG Testing window, we are asking for your support.
- PLEASE ensure that your student is sleeping well, eating a good breakfast and attending school daily.
- PLEASE take your child's electronics at bedtime, and PLEASE READ any text messages, group chats, or social media they are engaging in.
- It is imperative that students are at school, on time, focused and ready to go each day. Our children have learned so much this year! We wish for each one of them to do their very best on the EOGs.

Wake Up and Read, Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader is Coming to Our School!
We are thrilled to announce that Vandora Springs is a proud partner school of the Wake Up and Read program for the 2025–2026 school year! Thanks to the generous support of the WakeEd Foundation, every student in Pre-K through 5th grade will receive 3-5 FREE new or gently used books of their choice to help build their home libraries and encourage a love of reading.
Students will get to "shop" for their books in the media center during their Media special in the first week of June.
To make this exciting event a success, we need your help!
We are looking for volunteers to assist students and restock books throughout the week of June 2nd-June 6th from 8:45-2:45.
Please use the SignUp Genius link to volunteer your time and make a lasting impact on our students' reading journey.
