Friday, April 18, 2025, at 10:30 am will be our annual Humpty Dumpty Day here at Vinewood School. First - Third graders will be participating. Your child's assignment is to think of a way to package a raw egg so that we can throw it off of the roof of Pod A and it will not break. We have seen some pretty creative ideas so put on your thinking caps. As with everything, there are some rules.
The egg must be raw. Place it in a baggie before you package it, just in case it doesn’t survive.
Package your egg in any material you like, except peanut butter, flour, or jello. The size of the package does not matter, but remember we have to climb a ladder onto the roof with it.
Label the container with your child’s name and teacher.
Please send your packaged eggs to school on Thursday, April 17, 2025.
Families are invited to watch this thrilling event. Front gates will be open at 10:30 am for family members to come to the primary playground.

We are excited to share that on March 25th, Vinewood was honored as one of California's Distinguished Schools for 2025. Vinewood was identified for closing the achievement gap in overall student achievement, while also showing strong indicators of student engagement and positive school climate.
To qualify for a Closing the Achievement Gap recognition, schools must enroll at least 40 percent of students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds and have demonstrated exceptional growth in English language arts (ELA) or math to close persistent achievement gaps. The school must have also achieved a “blue” or “green” status on the Dashboard for all students’ ELA achievement, math achievement, chronic absenteeism, and suspension indicators, or have received a “yellow” indicator that demonstrates a significant increase from prior years’ achievement on those indicators. In order to certify the legitimacy of these results, schools must have ensured that 95 percent of students participated in statewide assessments for the 2022–23 and 2023–24 school years.
