August 2012


Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year at Vernon Elementary School.  The entire VES staff is excited to be working with the families of this wonderful Vernon Elementary School community.    As a staff we are committed to providing a quality education for all students as well as ensuring a safe and healthy learning environment.

Vernon Elementary School is a member of the Windham Southeast Supervisory Union, serving schools in the southeast corner of Windham County, Vermont.  The WSESU mission is to provide a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where all students grow academically, socially, and emotionally, and are challenged to reach their potential as local and global community members.

The Family Handbook is a valuable source of information for the various operations here at VES.  We recommend that both parents and students take the time to read this handbook together.  The contents of this handbook will be helpful to you in understanding the daily functions of VES.

At Vernon Elementary School we value the importance of our relationship with families and welcome open communication between the home and the school.  We encourage you to become involved with Vernon Elementary School and welcome you to visit and ask questions about your child’s progress.

The efforts of our parent group, the VES-PTC Spirit Club, help to provide many different activities throughout the school year.  We encourage volunteers and invite you to contact us if interested.

We hope you have a great summer and are ready for all the exciting opportunities that will be in store for the 2012-2013 school year.

Sincerely,

Mark V. Speno
Principal
