Dear Middle School Families,
It was good to see our students again after the break, although I am not certain the feeling was reciprocal. At the first chapel of 2019, a couple of our VCS alums ministered to our students, who were challenged to consider what it means to be loved by God and to follow Jesus, and in turn to become a part of the Great Commission.
In response to your feedback on the parent survey, we will begin an additional means of communication, within the next two weeks. Mrs. Gaborko began an email communication with 6th grade families this school year, with a view towards particulars that the 6th grade students and families need to know. We will have such a teacher communication for 7th and 8th grade as well. This will be a monthly communication, and the goal will be particulars about programming, extracurricular activities and other grade specific items to make for a stronger experience!
Please be looking for your reenrollment email on January 22nd and see below for more information. We're looking forward to having each of you return to VCS next school year!
Please take a moment, click the link below, and submit your nominee for the VCS "Falcon of the Year". This is the VCS staff member who best embodies our core values. Those values - outlined on the link below and on our website - represent the heart of a Vacaville Christian Falcon. The Falcon of the Year will be honored at the VCS Crab Feed on Sat., February 23rd.
In His Service,
Joseph Rowland

National Junior Honor Society
Invitations and applications for NJHS were distributed to students in their English classes this week. All students who have completed a full semester at VCMS with a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher are qualified to apply for NJHS membership. Students MUST complete the application to be considered for membership. Membership is based on the 5 pillars of NJHS and academics alone are not enough to be inducted.
Current members received letters of re-enrollment last fall and accounts were billed at that time. The Induction Gala for new members will be held at VCS on Tuesday, February 12 at 6:30 p.m. Current NJHS members are expected to attend and participate in the event. More information will be provided as students are accepted.
Applications may be turned in to the student's English teacher or left in the MS office for Mrs. Marchione

As we begin our second semester at VCS, I wanted to take a moment and say, "Welcome Back!" I pray your family had a wonderful time together over the Christmas break. I am so grateful and amazed at my first semester of time here at VCS. When I look back over the last six months of 2018, I am continually thankful and humbled by how the Lord has blessed our VCS family.
I have an intense passion and clear vision for our students, our faculty and our community in 2019, and it is my commitment to all of our community to communicate this vision and our achievements and opportunities to you on a consistent basis. As a community of faith we need to continue to meet together, work together and pray together.
Please join me on
Thursday, January 17th from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room for our next Parent Forum, as I share about what's in store for the future of VCS.
I will expand upon the themes discussed in our first "Building for the Future" Parent Forum in August, and provide an update on progress toward that vision. I will summarize significant successes and improvements that have been made at VCS since August, as well as practical steps we'll take together to make VCS even stronger at providing our students an excellent, well-rounded education while encouraging their personal spiritual growth
to excel in life and service to Jesus Christ.
For any parents who are unable to attend, we will be broadcasting the message live on the VCS Facebook page @VCSFalcons. We'll also be live streaming this on VCS Radio at 100.9 FM.
As a thank you for attending, Early Education families will receive a "Treasure Chest" pass, Elementary families will receive a "Free Dress Pass" and Middle/High School families will receive a "Free Homework Pass" for each child.
