VCMS Open House Welcome Letter 2024

We cordially invite you to attend the VCMS Open House being held on Thursday, September 19, 2024. Open house is an opportunity for families to become familiar with the course curriculum and expectations for each class a student has on their schedule. Course syllabi will be distributed for each class. Open house is a great chance to see what each class is all about. This event is not intended for students to attend, but an opportunity for parents and teachers to connect.

How does open house work? Starting at 6:15pm in the Cafeteria, parents/guardians will gather for an interactive session with Superintendent Avila about the District’s 5 Year Plan.

Families (parents and guardians) will then be following their child’s A Day class schedule. Parents can either collaborate with their child for the schedule or it can be accessed through the parent portal in SchoolTool. If you need SchoolTool access, please contact Sophia Licata-Cook at 845.457.2400 ext. 16502.

Also, there will be a parent informational meeting for students enrolled into Academic Intervention Services (AIS). This meeting starts at 6PM in the Middle School Library.

Please follow the bell schedule below for the Open House after the 6:15 presentation. You will need to follow the “A” day schedule accordingly. If your child has a study hall or a period where their teacher is not present, please visit the cafeteria for the ADAC Informational table and extracurricular information. Also, visit the PTA table and become a member!
