Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!

My name is Mrs. Sears, and I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! This is my 6th year at the Villages Charter School, and my 4th year as a classroom teacher. I have an amazing husband, Luke, and our two sweet kiddos, Beckham and Evelyn!
Please check your child's agenda and binder every night! Please remember to initial each day and check the "keep home" side for any notices, etc. They will need to bring these back to school every day.
