Welcome Back to School Flyer

If you are interested in the DC Philadelphia Spring Break trip- you have one week left to sign up. The deadline to sign up is Monday, September 14th. We are still adding in participants and about half of the spots are already filled. Please share the invitation with other friends and family. The trip is open to everyone and other students/families from other schools can participate. There is an information paper in the main office and a sign-up form. Do NOT sign up online. Use the paper form in the main office to sign up and return the $50 nonrefundable deposit for each traveler. Once we have determined that we have enough participants, we will fill out the official information online and each person can set up a payment plan. (Every student needs an adult traveling with them). Traveling and seeing the world provides your family with priceless knowledge and experiences!

Please reach out to Mrs. Montgomery with questions. Kmontgomery@vusd.org

Research on cell phones and learning for middle schoolers has shown that phone use distract learners. There are studies that indicated it lowers academic performance. When students have access to cell phones, they will still check them often which causes a distracted learner. At Green Acres, our no-phone policy removes these interruptions so that kids can focus, learn more, and build face to face connections during the school day. A distracted learner can not fully demonstrate their Ambitiousness. At Green Acres we believe our students have HEART for learning!
