**ANNOUNCEMENT** Tonight's girls basketball game vs Leslie has been cancelled.
Winterfest week is almost here!! Here are the dress up days for the Middle School/High School for January 16th-19th.
Students and Parents:
It is the expectation of Vandercook Lake Schools that all students are prepared for class and on-time every hour. We’d like to congratulate the 40% of students (117 students) that have less than 5 tardies for the entire first semester. We have collected some data of the excessive tardies first semester:
43% of students have 10 or more tardies (127 students)
39% of students have 15 or more tardies (113 students)
22% of students have 30 or more tardies (63 students)
12% of students have 40 or more tardies (36 students)
9% of students have 50 or more tardies (25 students)
Excessive tardies of this magnitude is unacceptable. Beginning second semester, students that have 3 or more tardies per week will be on social probation for the following week. We will run a report Friday afternoon and let students know they will be on social probation the following week. Social probation will run week-to-week. Social probation means a student cannot attend any after-school activities (games, practices, dances, fitness center, etc).
Should you have any questions, please contact me at melissa.bradfield@vandyschools.org
Respectfully,
Melissa Bradfield, Principal
