The last chance to buy Valentine's Day Candygrams is this Friday at lunch (or online through Saturday)!💗
A candygram is a lollipop attached to a personalized note (filled out by the kids). PTSA volunteers will deliver the candygrams to the Advisory Base classes on 2/13-2/14. Candygrams cost 50 cents each. If your kid would like to purchase some, please have them bring their spare change up to our table in the MPR during lunch on Friday, 2/10/23.
If you would like to purchase Candygrams for an entire Advisory Base class, it will cost just $15 and the PTSA will fill them out for you. Click the link below to order online. Happy Valentine's Day!

Did you know that Vail parents choose where to send their children to high school?
The Vail School District believes in providing parents with a choice of the high school that their children attend. We have created six unique high schools from which you can choose. Through this process, you will have the opportunity to learn more about each of the high schools and choose the school that is the best fit for your child for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year.
Each Monday morning you will receive an email from us with your “next steps” in the high school choice process including things you can be doing to help you make the best choice when that time comes.
This week is the time to familiarize yourself with each of the high school options and save some dates. Please CLICK HERE to visit our high school choice website where you will find information for each school including their mission/vision, courses, clubs, sports, fine arts, career and technical education programs, and more. And, then save the following open house dates where you and your 8th grader can take tours, ask questions, and meet the principals, teachers, and staff.
Tuesday, January 10th - VIC Open House 5:30-7PM
Wednesday, January 11th - Andrada Polytechnic Open House 5:00PM -7:00PM
Thursday, January 12th - Cienega Open House 5:00PM - 7:00PM
Wednesday, January 18th - Empire Open House 5:00PM - 7:00PM
Tuesday, January 24th - Vail Academy Open House 5:00PM - 7:00PM
Thursday, January 26th - Mica Mountain Open House 5:00PM - 7:00PM
All 8th grade families will submit their high school choice rankings online beginning Monday, January 30th on the HS Choice Portal. The process is not first come first served. Choices and changes may be submitted through Friday, February 17th. You will need your parent PowerSchool account information to log onto the Portal to submit your high school choices. Families will be notified of final school placements by email Friday, March 3rd. Contact your school office if assistance is needed with your parent PowerSchool account.
