Changes in Breakfast Time
Parent Drop Off/Pick Up
We are working with a variety of individuals on smoothing out our parent drop off & pick up procedures. A flyer was sent home last week with more details. The biggest change will be how the circle drive is used. We will have extra staff out front in the morning and afternoon to assist. We are asking all cars to pull all the way up (closer to the back the back gate near the baseball field).
Please refrain from making U-turns on E2 or asking students to run across E2 to get to your car.
Moving this Summer?
If you have recently moved or will be moving this summer, please contact the office at 651-621-7800. There are options to stay at VH when you move. We can walk you thru the process and update your address.
