VUSD Festival of the Arts – This Weekend! Join us in downtown Vista for the VUSD Festival of the Arts! Come celebrate the creativity and talents of our students by viewing our Bronco students’ artwork, watching our second graders dance, and enjoying a performance by our school choir. We hope to see lots of Bobier families there supporting our talented students!

It was another exciting week at Bobier Elementary! Our second-grade students enjoyed a special, interactive presentation about water from the Children’s Museum of Discovery, providing a fun and engaging learning experience.

We are also thrilled to see our beautiful new campus coming together, with the lower field and track nearing completion!

A big thank-you to Mr. Silva’s class for leading our Friday Flag ceremony and to all the families who joined us for the Math Transformations workshop with our third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students. We loved seeing so many families learning and engaging in Math together!

English: The Tech Time Review Family Survey is now open. This is an important opportunity for families to share their experiences, questions, concerns, and recommendations about student technology use during the school day. Survey responses will be considered alongside student and staff input, the district’s technology-use audit, research, and community forum discussions.

The survey will remain open through Sunday, October 11, and the findings will be reviewed during the Tuesday, October 20, community forum. It should take about 10 minutes to complete. The findings become more useful when we hear from a broad range of families, so please complete the survey and encourage other VUSD families to take it as well.

Dates: October 7; October 20; November 4; December 10

Time: 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.
Location: Vista Innovation Center (VIC), Multi-Purpose Room, 836 Olive Avenue

• October 7: Awareness. We will establish a shared foundation by reviewing research and examining what technology use currently looks like across VUSD. We will also consider approaches taken by other school districts, distinguish among the different types and purposes of student technology use, and discuss topics such as social media and artificial intelligence (AI).

• October 20: Empathy and Understanding. We will deepen our collective understanding by hearing what students, families, teachers, and staff are experiencing. We will also examine the benefits, concerns, research, and practical realities surrounding different types of technology use at different ages.

• November 4: Synthesis and Ideation. We will bring together what we have learned and identify what VUSD should protect, change, create, or clarify. Participants will help develop potential recommendations and language for a new VUSD Board policy and Administrative Regulation.

• December 10: Prototype and Feedback. Earlier that week, students serving on the Superintendent’s Council for Innovative Learning will review a draft Board policy proposal. At this forum, we will share the proposal, share what we heard from the students, and gather final community feedback before preparing the policy for the School Board’s first reading in January.

VUSD families are invited to join us for a Community Collaboration focused on the Family Campaign portion of the Tech Time Review. Hosted by VUCPTA, this workshop is open to all VUSD families. During this interactive workshop, families will share ideas and work together to help shape the Family Campaign. The campaign will provide families with practical, accessible resources that support healthy technology habits, responsible use of AI and social media, and creative screen-free activities that encourage imagination, play, conversation, and connection. We hope you will bring your experiences, creativity, and ideas to help us design a campaign that is genuinely useful for VUSD families.

Coming Soon.
