We Have Changed the Time for VOS Staff Meetings
Pictured here at our recent staff meeting, from left to right, is our school counselor, Sheri Leigh, our assistant principal Eric Smith, our school secretary Susan Cook, and our math/English teacher Ms. Abelli-Amen.
Just a reminder, as of January 7th, we have changed our staff meeting time so that our school counselor, Ms. Leigh can join us. Our old staff meeting time was from 10 to 12 on Tuesdays. Our new staff meeting times are Mondays from 11 to 12, and Tuesdays from 11 to 12. Valley Oaks is essentially closed during staff meeting times - staff members are unavailable and the buildings are closed and locked up. Thank you for being aware of this change and we apologize for any inconveniences.New Shipment of VOS Logo T-Shirts
Thank you senior Lauryn Malilay and sophomore Henry Wilson for holding up the new t-shirts!
On January 23rd, a new shipment of logo t-shirts arrived at VOS. They are extremely soft and lightweight - 50% poly + 25% combed and ringspun cotton + 25% rayon. The back says "Valley Oaks School" in silver and the front has our logo in maroon. They are Bella and Canvas brand, premium triblend, adult unisex, and in white or oatmeal with a retail fit. Come check them out and all our logo clothing - hanging in building #1. $25 each (& no profit made!)Ms. Halsey & Alumi Erin Dougherty
