Attention VCHS All-In Remote Learners: I would like to give some information about the All In Remote Learning option for the high school specifically. For the students who select this option, it is absolutely imperative that they have reliable and consistent internet on a daily basis. The use of a cell phone for this will not suffice. There will not be any paper packets created and distributed for these students. On Friday, August 14th remote learners will be reporting to the high school between 9:00 and 3:00 to pick up textbooks and Chromebooks. If you have registered for this option, please watch your email for more information. Please call the high school office (618) 283-5155 with any questions.

If you are an incoming freshman or a new student to VCHS and would like to tour the building and see classrooms, please email Mrs. Krueger at gkrueger@vandals203.org to schedule a time to come in! Looking forward to starting the year!

I hope all of you are enjoying the summer. We are excited for the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. I just wanted to remind everyone that in-person registration is going to be a little different than it has the past few years due to our capacity restrictions. If you need to register your student in-person instead of online registration from home, you will do so at your child's respective building. Just as a reminder, you will need to wear a mask upon entering the buildings. Please see the schedule for VCHS below: VCHS In-Person Registration: 9th Grade: 8/3/30 - 8am-3pm 10th Grade: 8/4/20 - 8am-3pm 11th Grade: 8/5/20 - 8am-3pm 12th Grade: 8/6/20 - 8am-3pm All who couldn't before: 8/7/20 - 8am-3pm Any new students to Vandalia School District should plan to register in-person on these assigned dates.

All VCHS Students enrolled in a vocational class at Okaw will be attending Monday through Thursday for okaw class only. Please note, the students will be attending on their two on site days for their regular school class schedule but will be able to come and go on the other two days for their Okaw class only. This applies to the actual vocational classes for upper classmen that are three periods long. Please call or email with any questions!

ATTENTION VCHS Parent and Students: Please read the attached list carefully of the VCHS Hybrid Roster using this link: https://tinyurl.com/vchshybridroster **When alphabetical order didn't work it was due to class size and/or siblings at lower grade levels.

DRIVE - THRU Tools for School 2020 information:

VCHS! Just a reminder that Online Registration for our district begins tomorrow, Tuesday, July 21. There is a link on the district website to access this: www.vandals203.org. You will have the following options as you register: Option 1 - In Person Learning or Option 2 - All-In Remote Learning. In Person Learning will be utilizing the Hybrid model: Students with last names A-L will attend Mondays & Wednesdays; Students with last names M-Z will attend Tuesdays & Thursdays. All other days students will be remote learning. The All-In Remote Learning option is for students who will be doing all of their schooling at home. This does not mean they are "homeschooling" however; it simply means they are getting their education from VCUSD #203 completely in an online format being taught by our VCUSD #203 employees. If you register your child for this option you will be making a commitment for the first semester. You will have the option of choosing again in January 2021. If you do not want to access online registration, that is fine also. We will be conducting in person registration in the VCHS office according to the following schedule: Please ring the doorbell when you arrive. - Freshman 8/3/20 - 8am-3pm - Sophomore 8/4/20 - 8am-3pm - Junior 8/5/20 - 8am-3pm - Senior 8/6/20 - 8am-3pm - Overflow day 8/7/20 8am-3pm Please contact the High School Office with any questions.
