 Back to School Night -August 25, 2026  4:00- 5:30pm

Parents will have the opportunity to follow their student's schedule starting at 4:00. Teachers will share general info about their class and parents can ask questions during each 10 minute rotation. Parents can also check in with our counselors, gifted and talented teacher, and administration. Ice cream will be served after the rotations for some socialization!

We are leveling up our traditional continuation ceremony to be a passage celebration and ceremony. 8th grade students create a presentation about themselves to be shared with the VSSA and parent community gallery walk style in May. The purpose of the passage project is to showcase their growth through middle school and aspirations and goals moving into high school.  Students will create a physical presentation, a poster (to display their growth and goals in academics, character, college and career and sport. On May 28th students will present their projects in a open house style at VSSA followed by a passage ceremony  of the 8th grade class.
