Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,

What a winter! The weather remains unpredictable outdoors; however, inside Van Cortlandtville the sun shines brighter each day. Student achievement continues to blossom!
We successfully completed the ELA exams in grades 3-5 and would like to compliment our staff and students on a phenomenal job! The math assessment for students in grade 3-5 will be administered in early March.

Van Cortlandtville will sponsor many wonderful events this month:
        ·   Incoming kindergarten registration process  (February 4-8th); we are              looking forward to welcoming our new parents.
        ·   On February 6th, Parent Place will present a workshop to discuss             “Wellness and Health.”
        ·   The entire week of the 11th, we will again host our International week              celebration.
        ·   VCES Family Science Night will be open to all at the end of the month.
Please watch for more information on these exciting events!

Our winter recess approaches quickly: school will be closed February 18th-22nd. Students are expected to enjoy a good book or two over their break. We encourage daily reading to foster continuous skill development.

We will close the month with our Citizen of the Month Assemblies where we will recognize those students who are good neighbors. The performances this month will be presented by Mr. Hersh, Ms. Bird, Ms. Brunke and Ms. Ahlstedt’s classes. We look forward to their creativity.

As always please drop by or call with questions or feedback.

Sincerely,

Jacqueline Figueroa
