PTSA Meeting & the World's Fair
If so, the PTSA needs your help! Currently, a small team of 3-4 parents is facilitating PTSA events. We'll need lots of parents to pull off the World's Fair on Friday, March 24. We will be holding a PTSA meeting on Thursday, March 2, from 5:30-6:40 PM to plan for the event. At that time, we'll be scheduling volunteers to assist with selling tickets, setting up, staffing games and crafts, taking down, and more. Our PTSA board speaks English and Spanish! We welcome all parents' help! Thank you for helping us make this event a reality!

Positive Prevention Classes (Gr 7-8)
(For Gr 7/8 families) On Wednesday, February 22, an informational letter went home with your student about the middle school lessons on California Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Education. VUSD is hosting a Zoom meeting on Monday, February 27, at 5:00 pm to provide parents with more information and to answer any questions that they might have. The live Zoom link is: https://bit.ly/Spring2023HealthPreview
If you DO NOT want your child to participate in the Positive Prevention lessons, please return the bottom portion of the letter by March 2nd. Students who opt-out will be provided alternative lessons in another classroom. Positive Prevention lessons will begin on March 6th.
If you have any questions, please let us know!
