Vessels needs you!

We are in need of a LCAP representative for our school

What is LCAP?

The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a critical part of the way the state of California funds school districts through the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) process. The state allows districts to work in partnership with the community to decide how best to use the funds. We need your help as parents, educators, employees, students and the community in the planning process to determine how to allocate our resources to meet our districts vision and goals. 

We will meet four times this school year and your input is invaluable.

Please contact mholman@cypsd.org for details
This week in photos...We love our Bulldogs!
We need your help with Harvest Night.

Wanted: Donation of generator powered lights that can be used for Harvest Night on October 19, 2018. Please contact Maureen Porquirino  at mporquirino@gmail.com

Thank you for your support!
Do you need more math support at home?

Try AAA Math ...It's effective, broken down by grade level standard and it's free. AAA Math is another great way to supplement instruction and reinforce math knowledge.

The Vessels, BUBBLE Jog-A-Thon was a smashing success! Thanks to you, we are able to support our programs here at Vessels.


There is still time to donate to help us met our goal of $60,000 this school year.

  • Donating is easy and can be done online by signing up at thegetmovingcrew and finding Vessels after the site registration.
  • Donations can also be given to classroom teachers as well.

The money donated goes DIRECTLY back to our students and the special events/programs that make Vessels great.

We also have a company donation match form to bring to your workplace here.

WE CAN DO IT, TOGETHER!

Attention Vessels: Every Friday is Juice it Up day after school. Cost is $2 and $3 by the front gate.
