  • Here's the latest from our Executive Director, Carolyn Yaffe, on the VCS Blog: 

Dear VCS Community,

I hope all of our community members were able to rest and recharge over the winter holidays. 

I want to acknowledge that the start of 2021 has been tumultuous and that there are several big challenges we face as a nation right now.  Our current political context underscores the important role that education plays in preparing our students to participate in and uphold democracy.  The VCS model -- which is designed to produce critical thinkers and advocates -- is both relevant and crucial in this task. While we may sometimes feel helpless as harmful events unfold, I personally take heart in the important ways the collective work we do as a community makes a difference in the larger world........

  • Dear VCMS Community,
 
Yesterday, we were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Juana Diaz from COVID-19. Ms. Diaz was the mother of Maria Pineda, a 7th grade student at VCMS. We are all thinking of the Pineda-Diaz family at this horribly difficult time. A Gofundme page has been set up at https://www.gofundme.com/f/whawp-funeral-services. If you are able, we encourage you to provide financial support for the family.  The Gofundme page will be up throughout this week in preparation for her burial, Monday, January 11th. 
 
Please keep Maria and her family in your thoughts.
 
Sincerely,
The VCMS Staff

  • VCS has exciting news for our community!  Today we launched our new website design and new VCS logo at https://valleycharterschool.org, We invite all of our families to check it out and bookmark this page.  There are sections for both of our schools within the new website address, but most information can be found through the main VCS page.  Also (and very exciting for people who have been waiting years for a digital school calendar!), you can subscribe to the VCS google calendar and link it to your personal calendar!  This should make it much easier to keep track of our many school events throughout the year. #vcs #newlooksameamazingschool #thecalendarwillmakeeverythingeasier
