Our Halloween Parties were a huge success!!! Thank you so much to everyone who donated, and to all those that volunteered in the classroom. We could not have done it without your help.

Veterans Day is almost here
Vanderhoof has an amazing Veterans day breakfast. It is a beautiful tradition, and we need your help to keep it going. Please sign up here to make our celebration the best it can be.
As the weather begins to change and temperatures drop, I want to take a moment to remind everyone how important it is for students to come to school dressed appropriately for the conditions.
Our school day begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 3:15 p.m. Breakfast is served starting at 7:45 a.m. Please do not drop students off before 7:45, as there is no supervision available before that time.
We also appreciate families scheduling appointments outside of school hours whenever possible. We have noticed an increase in early pick-ups recently, and we want to ensure that students are able to maximize their learning time each day.
If you need to pick your child up early or make changes to their after-school transportation plans, please notify the office no later than 12:00 p.m. so we can communicate those changes to teachers in a timely manner.
Thank you for helping us keep students safe and protect their valuable learning time throughout the day.

In order to honor our veterans this year, we will be creating a slideshow to share during our celebration and in classrooms. If your veteran was already represented in last year’s presentation and no updates or corrections are needed, you do not need to complete a new form. Last year’s Veterans Day presentation is linked below for your reference.
Veteran's Day Vanderhoof Slideshow 2024
If you would like to have your veteran honored in our slide show please complete the following steps:
You can help your child to fill out the veteran information sheet digitally here: Veterans Day Form (Please don't worry about formatting! I can fix anything you type. The picture, if possible, and information written are most important!)
You may send them electronically to Mrs. Henrichsen at cblais@jeffcoschools.us DIRECTIONS HERE by November 7th.
If you need to print the form and send it in, that’s okay, too!
Additionally, We will be holding an indoor reception on Tuesday, November 11th from 8:30-9:00 am to celebrate the veterans in our community. We hope that our veterans will join us for the event and invite you to RSVP here. Students and families are encouraged to wear RED. R.E.D. is an acronym that originally stands for Remember Everyone Deployed and was created to remind people of our heroes overseas and show that we are thinking of them.
Thanks for sharing and honoring your veterans!
