Picture Re-Take Day is Thursday, October 30th. If your child was absent that day, they will have their photos taken or if you are unhappy with your child's photos just bring them back that day and your child will have them re-taken without extra costs.

The last Monday of every month (that is tomorrow!) at Vine Street will be celebrating kindness with a Vine Shine Kindness Day! Staff and students are encourgaged to promote kindess by wearing messages of kindness, completing acts of kindess, and sharing kind words with friends and family. The world is a better place with more kindness! 💞

Students are not allowed to wear costumes to school on Halloween (or any other day). Please make sure your child comes to school dressed in regular clothing that will not be a distraction in class. Thank you for your support with this!

Thank you so much for the PTO members who came to support our PBIS Celebration this week! They sliced apples and helped serve students as they created their apple nachoes! We truely appreciate all that you do for our school!!

When students attend school regularly, they establish strong academic foundations, foster lasting friendships, and develop routines that set them up for lifelong success.

We know that families and schools working together can make consistent attendance possible for all students. Thank you for being our partners in this effort!

Please help us reach our 95% attendance goal by making daily attendance a priority. Whether it’s an exciting lesson, a hands-on project, or time spent with friends, every day of learning matters!

Weekly Attendance

PreK - 92.22%

Kindergarten - 91.49%

First Grade - 90.45%
