Dear Middle School Families,
It is our goal to prepare our students extensively for the rigors of high school reading and writing. I asked our English Department Chair, Mrs. McFadden, to briefly share from our English scope and learning objectives:
"Our Middle School English Department is focused on strengthening our students' reading comprehension and their enjoyment of reading as well. Creative activities from 6th graders who read
Hatchet by Gary
Paulson and from 7th grade's immersion in the world of
The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien culminate in the 8th graders' examination of many Holocaust stories, particularly the inspiring story of Corrie
TenBoom's
The Hiding Place. Our students grow in empathy as they imagine other times, places, and people's lives so different from their own -- and yet so similar, too. Grammar review and practice and vocabulary expansion find their application in increasingly complex and lengthy essays and reports. Creative writing is important as well, as students learn ways to express themselves with clarity and beauty."
In His Service,
Joseph Rowland

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.

Katya Nelson: (707) 246-6314

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.
