Community of Schools Administrator
Welcome to the Van Nuys- Valley Glen Community of Schools (CoS). My name is Vicky Damonte, I am the Community of schools Administrator for the Van Nuys / Valley Glen Community of Schools. It gives me great pleasure to continue serving a community that I have served as a Director of Schools and previous Principal of Grant HS. My connections to the community goes back to my childhood as a student at Grant HS and Millikan MS. I am excited about the ongoing programs currently in our community of schools and the new opportunities we will collectively create. I look forward to the many occasions to collaborate with our amazing families, school leaders and community partners to support and prepare our students to be Ready for the World! My hope is you will become an active participant in our Community of Schools. Our newsletter, the Van Nuys/Valley Glen Community Connection, communicates the latest updates and resources regarding our school community. In addition, we will highlight our community of schools, profile students and staff, and share voices from the field. I look forward to a wonderful school year with lots of health and learning. I welcome your feedback at pdamonte@lausd.net.

On March 10th, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho recognized Johnathan Villeneuve, a senior at Van Nuys High School who bonded with fellow classmates through music during an extremely difficult moment in his life. Johnathan's love of music and passion for jazz continues to be a creative outlet for him. So much so, it has led to a leading role in his high school jazz band as well as being selected as a musician in the All-District Jazz Academy. His dedication to his craft inspires all of us to work hard to pursue our dreams.
