Dear Vanderhoof Families-
Conferences are right around the corner, please look for the sign up document in your teachers newsletters. We can't wait to share how your students are doing and all the growth we are seeing. Thanks for helping to ensure our student count was accurate this past week, by getting your little ones to school each day. The October count is how the state determines our school funding which is based on attendance. I also want to give a shout out to all our volunteers, thank you for making the time to come in and stuff Friday folders, work with small groups, help out in the classrooms, walk Koda, change out bulletin boards and supervise recess. We all know it takes a village and we are so grateful for our village. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. Get out and see those beautiful fall colors.
