Vickers Parent Newsletter

Vickers hopes to foster parent engagement and we are looking for parent volunteers! We could use help with helping teachers with copies, cutting, laminating, sorting, being a lunch monitor, checking in/out books at the library, being a guest reader, and much more!

Please take time to fill out an application by clicking on the button below. Also, reach out to the front office and your child's teacher to let them know you are interested in helping out. Thank you in advance for your willingness to support our students & staff!

WHAT A GREAT DAY TO BE A VICKERS LION!

We are incredibly proud to be part of Victoria ISD and to celebrate the tremendous progress happening across ALL of our campuses! The hard work, dedication, and commitment taking place throughout our district is making a difference for students every single day.

At Vickers Elementary, we are especially excited to celebrate earning an A Rating with an overall score of 90 AND two Distinction Designations!

This accomplishment belongs to our entire Vickers family…our students who work hard every day, our staff who pour their hearts into our Lions, and our families who support and partner with us along the way.

We are so proud of how far Victoria ISD has come, and even more excited about where we are headed together!

Proud of our students. Proud of our staff. Proud of our families. Proud to be VISD.

EXCELLENCE BEGINS WITH ME!

At Vickers, all parents are automatically members of our parent-teacher organization. There are no membership dues to pay; therefore, we rely solely on our fundraising efforts to support our school.

Through fundraising, we are able to fund many school needs, such as clubs, field trips, academic awards, attendance incentives, Glow Day, End of the year activities, staff needs, Vickers alumni scholarships, and help pay for special school improvement projects as needed.

PTO officers are voted for at the end of each school year for the following school year. Below are the names of the 26-27 PTO Board:

• President: Heather Genovese
• Vice Presiden: Courtney Geistman
• Treasurer: Kristin Perez
• Secretary: Roman Emiliano III
• Parliamentarian: Clarissa Garcia
• Fundraising: Megan Cisneros
• Fundraising Co-Chair: Charday Lovingfoss Tamez
• Volunteer Chair: Kimber Laffee
• Volunteer Coordinator Co-Chair:
• Marketing: Kyler Andress

Please remember, in the interest and safety for all students (and per VISD student handbook), medications (anything over the counter - including cough drops) must be transported to and/or from school by a parent/guardian. We ask that all medication be kept in the original package. A form must also be filled out and signed to allow the distribution of medication to the student by the nurse.

• Don’t forget to sign up on Remind to receive messages from the Nurse. Text the message @nurse252 to the number 81010 to get notifications.
