Principal Batten's Weekly Message
I hope that you enjoyed this beautiful weekend. This week we celebrate V3A 2025-26 Student Spotlight recipient - Ty'Rihanna Holden, who will be honored with other VCS Student Spotlight recipients at a red carpet event at the ASC Monday evening before the Board of Education meeting. Most V3A students will be taking mock EOG and EOCs (schedule below). Students should arrive at V3A at 8:00am with their charged LAPTOPS and CHARGERS. Bus transportation to the mock EOG/EOCs will be available on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (but not Wednesday). Please sign up for the bus as soon as possible https://v3a.online/bus. Students who require bus transportation for Wednesday's mock EOG/EOCs should sign up for the Friday make-up day.
Official EOGs and EOCs are only a month away and it is crucial that students buckle down ("lock in") and end the 2025-26 year strong.
Virtual learning is extremely challenging and students MUST check their email daily, attend all scheduled Zoom classes and interventions, and complete assignments daily in order to be successful at V3A.
