A few friendly reminders:

-Dismissal is at 3:26pm. If your student has to leave early for any reason, it must be BEFORE 3:00pm by an adult on their emergency contact list.

-ID's are required to enter all buildings within VDPS. You will be asked to present identification when ringing the door bell. Thank you for your understanding in keeping our students safe.

Also, we will have indoor recess today due to the heat index!
