A Message From the Principal
Dear Parents and Students,
Happy March! This month, we are celebrating Women’s History Month!
As we approach the end of Term 3, this is the last full week before final exams. It is crucial that students remain engaged and stay on track. Please take a moment to review your student's progress by logging into Skyward to check attendance and grades. If there are any concerns regarding missing assignments, we encourage you to reach out to teachers directly. We want to ensure all students finish strong and succeed in their academic goals here at Vistas.
A Reminder: Final exams will take place next Thursday and Friday. Any student who misses a final exam will receive a zero for that exam. Please see the final exam schedule below for additional details.
We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and thank you for choosing the Vistas High School Program. You are an essential part of Team Vistas, and we are grateful for your partnership!
Warm regards,
Sarah Deckard
Principal

Please keep personal computers at home. See information below...

Campus Events
Vistas High School Art Contest 🎨
Theme:
- No theme! Let your creativity shine!
What Can You Create?
- Any original artwork from your imagination!
- Keep it school-appropriate: Think about what’s okay to show at school.
Submission Guidelines:
- Hand-drawn or digital art is welcome.
- No Google Images, copying, or imitating others. Your submission must be 100% original—if it’s not, it will be immediately disqualified and reported to administration.
- AI Submissions:
- If you use AI, the AI should not create the image for you. The AI should be a tool to help you, not the creator of the artwork.
- Be sure to explain your AI process and the source you used. This helps verify the originality of the work.
- AI-generated work must show meaningful creativity and your personal touch.
Voting Process:
- After submissions close, the entire school will vote anonymously using a Google Form.
- It’ll be up to the voters to decide whether they prefer hand-drawn or AI-assisted work—but keep in mind, hand-drawn art often has a more personal and creative touch!
