Pick up and Drop off
Procedures
 A few friendly reminders on pick-up and drop-off to keep everyone safe and happy:

- No parking anywhere on the drop off / pick up line (see the illustration, the entire black line both on Concord and in the school driveway are drop off / pick up lanes)
- Have your kids school bags next to them to maintain traffic flow
- If you need to help your child out of the car, get their materials from the trunk, etc. please park nearby and walk up :)
- No U-turns on Concord Street
- Please be considerate of the school’s neighbors by not blocking their drive way(s).
- Only cross at designated crossing sites and follow the instructions of the crossing guards

Stay calm and kind!
Many students (and parents) are new and learning.
School Supplies
Why didn't I get a school Supply list the first day of school?
To save time and money parents and teachers collaboratively worked together to establish the Teacher Classroom Funds. Each year Vintage Hills PTA collects funds at registration (Part 1) ensuring supplies for all students on the first day of school saving time and money at home and in the classroom. Gone are the days of going to multiple stores only to find...

It's School Supplies made easy.
If you haven't registered yet, please do here!

PPIE NEWS
In 2020-21, PPIE raised 85% of the previous year. Thanks to PUSD support (due to one-time Covid-Related funds), we will be able to support the same positions as we did last year. However these funds will expire, and we will need to engage our families to sustain this level of support and funding. We know school PTA's are most crucial in advocating for parent engagement and fundraising and we appreciate and count on your support.

At Vintage Hills in 2020-21, PPIE received $14,239 in family donations and GAVE $25,064 to our school!

And here is how PPIE contributed to Vintage Hills:
  • Student Intervention Teachers – for Flex Time learning and reading/math support and advancement at ALL levels 
  • Tech Specialists – to support distance learning and enable IT access for students and teachers 
  • Librarians– to help students access resources, do research and have a safe place to go 
  • WellnessDirector (Student Assistance Program Specialist) to coordinate student (and parent) wellness across the school district and support our new High School Wellness Centers
Also please mark your calendars for 2 of our major fundraising events this year:
  •      October 24 (Sunday) - Fall Gala 4:30 to 8:30 at Palm Event Center 
  • April 24 (Sunday) - Run for Education at the Fairgrounds
