Picture Day: Wednesday, September 18th is fall picture day at VPE. Fall pictures are one pose of a headshot that is utilized for the yearbook and one pose with a scene backdrop. The following day students will be sent home with a flyer with instructions on how to view images and order pictures. For those who are absent during picture day, we have retakes scheduled for Wednesday, November 6th. For any questions before or after picture day, email info@tripleplaypro.com.

• Did you know that FCPS does not provide medical coverage for student accidents that occur at school?
• Did you know Fayette County Public Schools offer parents a Voluntary/Optional Insurance Policy?
• This a great opportunity for families that do not have health coverage or for families that do have insurance to offset the cost of out-pocket expenses.

Insurance Coverages available are:

At-School Accident Only

24-hour Accident Only

Extended Dental

Head to the FCPS student accident page for more information.

VPE loves to have volunteers helping throughout the school day, attending field trips, and helping out in the building. Any and all adults accompanying a school group while on a field trip must first undergo and pass the background checks required for all FCPS volunteers through the volunteer application system. This applies to listed chaperones, volunteers, and anyone who travels separately to join the group at the respective venue. If you plan on coming to help in the building at any point in the future when allowed you will need to complete the following background check: Volunteer Application.

Parents don't need to be approved to eat lunch with their child, attend parent/teacher conferences or attend evening events. All other activities will require you to be an approved volunteer. These background checks are good for three years.

This year we will be offering PTA meetings on two platforms - in person and on Zoom. They are scheduled for the second Thursday of each month at 7:45 in the VPE Library or using the following Zoom link: https://fcps-net.zoom.us/j/99018941544
