Dear Vacaville Christian Community,

Yesterday, all public schools provided notice that school closures will extend through May 1st. Please know that as an independent private school, we are not required to follow the school decisions made by public schools in Solano County. We are, however, obligated to comply (as they apply to us) with local and state mandates. The Solano County shelter at home order was mandated through April 7th and the state order (issued on March 19th) was mandated indefinitely . For these reasons, it is necessary to continue distance learning and optional daycare (see PDF at bottom for daycare details) at least through the end of Easter Break . After that we will evaluate the situation on a week-by-week basis , with the goal of returning school to normal as soon as it is safe and practical to do so. Health and safety remains my top priority.

The Coronavirus crisis has created challenges for many in our VCS community, and it’s our desire to support those who have been impacted. Families that have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 crisis through loss of employment or reduced hours, should contact Rosemary Archie, VCS Finance Administrator at rosemary.archie@go-vcs.com - we want to support you, including options like extended payment plans. We are also suspending late fees through at least July. Please know that financial aid applications are also open for the 2020-2021 school and this program is available for any family who has need. Again, please contact Rosemary Archie for additional details. I’ve also provided a letter at the bottom of my email outlining other impacts during this crisis, including why tuition remains critical to providing your children a distinctive education.
