The last Monday of every month will be our Be Kind at Vine Days! Help us celebrate kindness by encourageing your child(ren) to spread kind messages, share kind words with each other and if they have any clothing with kind messages, please have them wear them!

Birthdays and celebrations are special times in a child's life. As mentioned in Vine Street's student handbook, if you choose to celebrate your child's birthday or other special occasion, please remember that as Vine Street is an inclusive school, we can only allow invitations for a party to be given out at school if all students in your child's classroom receive one. And most importantly, due to various allergies, we cannot allow homemade foods/cupcakes. Special snacks need to be brought to school in their original containers so school staff can read ingredients to ensure that a child will not be inadvertently exposed to a known allergen. To minimize disruption to students’ learning, please contact your child’s teacher in advance if you would like to bring a special treat to school.

Please note our wonderful Communication Core Boards displayed on each of our playgrounds. These are important tools some of our students use daily to help them communicate with staff. Please encourage your child to be respectful of these tools. I have unfortunately seen some students after school kicking & punching them, "crashing" into them with their bodies, or pulling at them. I love that families are enjoying the playground after school, all I ask is that you continue to encourage your child to be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe using the school equipment. Thank you for your support with this.

School Picture day is this Thursday, September 24. You can use this link to directly order photos! https://inter-state.com/FlyerEntry/0642XH
