Thank you!
Thank you so much for all you do to support your child each and every day at Vine Street! Whether it is making sure they arrive on time every day, making sure they come with a snack and water bottle every day, helping them with homework/reading every night, and/or spending a few minutes each evening talking about what they learned and how they were kind at school that day! I appreciate all that you do!
Bangor Day π
Tuesday, December 23 is our annual Bangor Day! We encourage all students and staff to either wear their Bangor Gear or dress in something cardinal red and white! Let's all celebrate our great school on Bangor Day!!
Attendance Initiative
We started our Attendance Initiative this week. We will be placing students' names in a drawing for every day they attend school from December 8 - December 23. Names will be drawn for prizes on December 23rd. Students MUST be in school on December 23rd in order to win! Attendance matters and every day counts!
Vine Street Spirit Week!
PreK/K Registration for the 2026-2027 School Year!
At Vine Street we often fill our PreK slots very early since we only have one PreK classroom! We also strongly encourage all families with Kindergarten age students to come in to register your child for next year. We begin planning for our next school year now! π
