The Incredible AADUSD purchased Customized Yard Signs for each of the VHS Seniors for Class of 2024! Most students have already picked up their signs, but we still have a few signs that need to be displayed! Get yours today in the front office! Thank you to the AAADUSD for supporting our Seniors!!!

Look for our awesome VHS Senior Banners on Crown Valley! We love our Students!!!

The VHS Blood Drive collected 39 units of life-saving blood which goes to help as many as 117 patients in area hospitals. Many were 1st Time Donors who will learn their blood type and where it is used by downloading the Red Cross Donor App from the app store. Also, 8 donors gave a Power Red procedure which counts as 2 units and goes to emergency or surgery for trauma.

Congratulations to VHS on earning $250 in scholarship to be given to a student announced at Night of the Stars (5/22).

*Please encourage students to attend class for the entire duration of finals, especially when phone calls to classrooms can be particularly disruptive. Please encourage students to wait until break to leave school. Encouraging consistency in attendance not only helps students maintain focus but also fosters a respectful learning environment for everyone.

Graduating seniors who have cleared all pending fees and delinquencies through ASB will receive Gowns on June 5th after Graduation Practice @ 8:00am.

Caps will be open for distributed May 31st as a favor to seniors who wish to decorate their hats in advance of the ceremony. This tradition continues because past seniors have made good choices

about these decorations. Make wise decisions about modifying your hat and this courtesy will continue. An emphasis on college/career or your graduation year is the most popular choice.

Subject: Important Yearbook Delivery Update

Dear Mustangs,

We regret to inform you that this year's yearbook will not be ready for distribution by the end of the school year as originally planned. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Despite best efforts, unforeseen delays have impacted the production timeline. We know this may be disappointing; however, because of this delay, we have been able to include more end-of-year events, such as Prom, this year, unlike in previous years.

In the meantime, we will provide inserts for students who have purchased yearbooks to sign, preserving the tradition of yearbook signing. Additionally, we are planning a summer signing party where students can receive their yearbooks and celebrate together on campus. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to ensure the yearbook reflects the memorable moments of the academic year. Further details about the summer signing party will be communicated soon. Thank you for your continued support.

They can redeem these points for privileges, tangible items, access to events, and other similar things. Our expectation is that we will see overall behavior improve throughout the school and that the number of referrals we have will decrease.

PBIS Rewards has a Family App that will give you some insight into how your child is doing with respect to our PBIS program. The Family App will run on most smart devices, including smartphones and tablets. You can find it in the iPhone/iPad App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon App Store.
