Vessels Core Values

Every great organization has core values or beliefs that drive its successes and focus the team on excellence. At Vessels, we have developed core values that center the team on student success and remind us of what we hold dear. Below is a list of our core values:

We value our students, encourage their academic and social development, and reward positive performance in and out of the classroom.
We develop the strengths and talents of our students so that they will grow to be passionate about learning and life.
We take risks and see mistakes as opportunities to grow! We find joy in our work and help others to do the same.
We develop positive, meaningful relationships with our students, parents, and colleagues to best support the learning community's needs.
We work together across grade levels and continuously adapt instruction to meet the needs of all learners in our classroom.
We value diversity and inclusivity in all that we do!

At Vessels, we love what we do, and it shows!

Health Reminders

We encourage families to follow health and safety practices in accordance with the California Department of Public Health and the Orange County Health Care Agency:

If your child has symptoms related to COVID-19, please make sure they stay home and get tested if necessary.
Please keep them home from school if they exhibit the following symptoms: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea.
If a member of your household tests positive for COVID-19 or is awaiting test results, please do not send your child to school and notify the Vessels front office.
Limit close contact with people who are sick, and avoid sharing food, drinks, or utensils.

Thank you for helping us keep Vessels safe!
