Journey12, our partner for Vandalia One, is offering complimentary sessions over the next few months beginning Wednesday(10/18/23 at 7:00 p.m.) evening for an hour of expert guidance on the college selection and admissions process.
Join by Zoom using the link Mrs. Krueger sent via email.
Nanette Tarbouni, a former Director of Admissions at Washington University in St. Louis will be co-hosting with Craig Williams and will be exploring many of the obstacles and a few myths that give families anxiety over college admissions and financing. She also served as the head of college counseling at a top high school which catered to a wide range of college pursuits for families from all economic strata. It will be a lively, fruitful discussion that will help clear paths for many who are unfamiliar with and/or frustrated by the process. The program is designed as both expertise sharing by Nanette and as a live, interactive Q&A for those in attendance.

The safety and security of our schools remain a top priority, and we will continue to work closely with the Vandalia School District to ensure the safety of our students. We appreciate the cooperation and support of the Vandalia community.
In response to these false allegations, our department is now conducting a comprehensive investigation to determine the appropriate legal actions to be taken. It’s important to note that transmitting or causing the transmission of threats, whether real or false, is a serious offense under Illinois law. Such actions can lead to criminal charges. We want to emphasize the importance of responsible behavior and the severe consequences that can result from making false threats. False threats not only divert critical resources away from genuine issues but also create unnecessary fear and anxiety within our community. 2/3
