Dear Vasquez Families and Community Members,

We wanted to let you know that the LCAP Survey has been extended and is still open! We truly value your input as we continue to improve our school and community programs. Your feedback helps guide our decisions and ensures we’re meeting the needs of everyone in our community. The survey is easy to complete and should only take a few minutes of your time. Please take a moment to share your thoughts with us – your voice matters! You can access the survey here:

Thank you so much for your participation and support – we look forward to hearing from you!

VHS is offering after-school tutoring to support students in their academic success. This tutoring service will be available to all students who may need extra help with their coursework. Tutoring sessions will take place Monday - Thursday at VHS. Our dedicated team of teachers will be available to assist with a wide range of subjects and provide support to help students reach their full potential. We encourage students to take advantage of this valuable opportunity!

If you have any questions or need more information, please ask the VHS front office staff!

Students: Please make sure your parking permits are displayed with the permit number facing up on your dashboard when you park your vehicle at school.

Any vehicle without a parking permit visible will be subject to disciplinary consequences assigned by VHS administration. If a vehicle does not have a parking permit, the parent/guardian will be contacted immediately to make arrangements for after-school pick-up. Please ensure that all parking rules are followed to avoid any inconvenience.

Dear Mustang Families,

To ensure that our students receive maximum academic time during class and minimize disruptions, we will be limiting phone calls to classrooms during school hours. For items that are not related to class subjects, we kindly ask that students wait until passing periods, breaks, or lunch to retrieve any dropped-off items. To further minimize interruptions during instructional time, we will not be calling into classrooms to notify students or teachers about dropped-off items. Please make arrangements with your student prior to the school day, or encourage them to check in at the office during their breaks.

We appreciate your understanding and support in creating a focused learning environment for all students.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Sincerely,

The VHS Staff

To help streamline drop-off and minimize traffic congestion around our school, we want to remind everyone that our campus opens at 7:20 AM, Monday through Friday. We encourage you to take advantage of this early access, as it allows for a smoother and safer drop-off experience. By arriving early, you can avoid peak traffic times and ensure that your students can get to class on time. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and efficient environment for all our students. Thank you for your support!

Here’s how the Tardy policy will work:

Tardies Will Be Counted Per Period: Each tardy will be recorded individually for each class period. This means that students can accumulate up to 7 tardies in a single day if they are late to all their periods.

Consequences for Tardies: For every 3-5 tardies accumulated in a week, students will receive one lunch detention. If a student accumulates 6 or more tardies may result in an After School Detention.

What You Can Do:

Encourage Timeliness: Please remind your child of the importance of arriving to class on time and the impact their punctuality has on their learning and the learning environment for others.

Monitor Attendance: Check in with your child about their class attendance and punctuality to ensure they are aware of how many tardies they have accrued.

We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child.
