Vandalia Junior High School

The 4th grade teachers at VJHS have put together an introduction of themselves and a brief orientation for incoming 4th grade students. This can be viewed in this slideshow. We will not be having an in-person orientation this year as we are trying to limit the number of people that enter the school building.

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 VJHS below: VJHS In-Person Registration: 4th Grade: 8/3/30 - 8am-3pm 5th Grade: 8/4/20 - 8am-3pm 6th Grade: 8/5/20 - 8am-3pm 7th Grade: 8/6/20 - 8am-3pm 8th Grade: 8/7/20 - 8am-3pm Any new students to Vandalia School District should plan to register in-person on these assigned dates.
