Dear Middle School Families,
This past week, we celebrated the academic and athletic successes of our students. It was great to have so many families in attendance to honor their hard work! We awarded three levels of grade point average excellence, and top students in each class. On April 28, we will have a Second Semester Awards Chapel and will also include Christian character awards and a few for clubs/activities.
As a teaching team, we continue to focus our attention on essential questions and the best
practices for teaching and learning. We have been analyzing an instructional day, as we consider what a teacher should be doing and what students should be doing for maximum effectiveness in learning. Closely associated to this focus on the class period, is the idea of active learning, in which research unequivocally shows increased student achievement as the students are "doing" the learning! We will continue to focus on this in our staff meetings, and we have a planned staff development day in March for further emphasis.
We have great kids and families, and want to ensure our instruction is the very best!
In His Service,
Joseph Rowland

Continuous Enrollment
Each January, VCS will publish next year's tuition rates (www.go-vcs.com/admissions#enrollment) and fees. Each student has been automatically re-enrolled for the coming 2020-2021 school year. Continuous Enrollment.means that a student will have continuous enrollment at Vacaville Chrisitian each academic year, without the need to complete re-enrollment forms or pay any re-enrollment fees. Current students' enrollment will renew each successive academic year until the student has completed 12th grade at VCS. Effective the 2020-2021 school year, any termination of Continuous Enrollment for the following school year will incur a withdrawal fee of $375, except when providing written notice of termination (school withdrawal form) for the following school year to the VCS Business Office, no later than March 1, 2020.

Our priority at VCS is to create a safe environment for your children the entire time they are on our campus. Our extended care program is one way we strive to provide that safety after our regular school ours. Students still on campus at 3:20 (2:25 on Tuesdays) will be escorted to the extended care room in the high school building. When an authorized person arrives to pick up a child in extended care, please call the extended care supervisor, who will release the child to leave through the locked front door of the high school.
Extended care teacher:
Katya Nelson: (707) 246-6314
Extended Care Director: Dulce Hill: (707) 372-1358
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Falcon Referral Program
VCS is offering a tuition discount for the 2019-2020 school year - The Falcon Referral Discount! You can earn $1000 credit towards your tuition for the 2019-2020 school year by referring a new family.
How does it work?
Refer a new family to VCS. When the new family enrolls for the 2019-2020 school year, the referring family (that's you!) and the new family will each receive $1000 credit for the 2019 -2020 school year, towards their tuition. You can refer up to five (5) families in one school year. The $1000 credit is off your total tuition, not per child.
For more details or to refer a friend to visit VCS, contact Maylene Ripley, Director or Enrollment at 707-446-1776, ext. 5300.
