Handle with care

If your family is experiencing difficulties at home, I would like to provide some additional support at school. I understand you may not always be able to provide details, and that’s OK. If your child is coming to school after a difficult morning, night or weekend, please email me at verna.broussard@vpsb.net with “handle with care - student name” in the subject line and I will make it a priority to check in on them

If you or someone you know has a pair of eye glasses that are no longer used please consider donating them. JOES will partner with the Lions Club of Kaplan to get those old glasses in the hands of someone who needs them over seas.
