What an honor! Our Vandy Varsity Cheerleaders were chosen to participate in the Detroit Lions Touchdown in your Town Grant today! One of 10 schools in the state of Michigan. They picked us up in a charter bus this morning, fed us lunch, presented Coach Crum with an $8,000 check, lots of free Lions swag, and of course the Game! Thank you Coach Sarah Crum and Bre Ray for writing this grant! Let’s go Lions, let’s go Jayhawks!

Townsend Families - We have listened to your feedback on the arrival and dismissal process. We have decided to revert back to the previous process of parents walking up to the building to drop off and pick up. Please remember that any adult picking up a student must be on the registration form. Contact the office if any changes need to be made. 

We will establish a small parent and staff committee to discuss transitioning to a safer process in the future. 

Have a great weekend! Mrs. LaDue, Principal

Greetings Townsend Jayhawk Families!

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year. Thank you for choosing Vandercook Lake Public Schools. I look forward to getting to know the students and families.

Here are a few quick reminders:

Thank you for helping us build confident and self-reliant learners. Our staff is 'all hands on deck' and guides students to either the cafeteria for breakfast OR the gym until teachers pick up their students.

Car line (arrival and dismissal): New this year! Families, please stay in your vehicles and please pull all the way forward where staff members will support students in and out of vehicles.

PTO meeting: Please consider attending our PTO meeting this evening at 6:00 in person at Townsend in room 621 OR virtually: https://meet.google.com/sfk-zieg-efz.

Volunteer Opportunities! We are looking for two breakfast and two lunch parent volunteers.
Breakfast: 8:15 - 8:45 a.m. and Lunch: 11:00 - 12:45 p.m.
