PBIS Spring Family Climate Survey
Please take a moment to fill out Vine Street's Family Climate Survey. I use this information to understand parents thoughts and feelings around Vine Street School. It allows me to make sure Vine Street feels safe and welcoming. Please let me know if you have any thoughts, feelings, or questions around any of the questions in this survey.
3rd Grade Maine Through Year Assessments
3rd Grade students will be taking the Maine Through Year State Assessment for the final time this year on:
- Tuesday, May 12 and Thursday, May 14
Please mark these dates on your calendar! Please try not to schedule any appointments for your child on those days and have your child arrive to school on time and well rested! Thank you for your support!
PBIS School-Wide Celebration
We are having our next PBIS School-Wide Celebration on Thursday. For those students who have shown great Respect, Reponsible, and Safe behaviors, they will be joining us at JFDS for Junior Bulldog Day! We will be walking down the hill to the Doughty School from 12:50-2:10 to participate in some fun and games with the students and staff at JFDS! We encourage all students to wear Blue and White (Doughty school colors)!
