Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year! A common question I am receiving is in regards to the Healthy School Meals for All. Both the Senate and House passed the Healthy School Meals for All Act in May and the Governor did sign it. What has not been highlighted or explained yet is that the Healthy School Meals for All is subject to state appropriations. At this time, the state has not appropriated any funds to reimburse the district and therefore the IL State Board of Education can not move forward with implementation of this until funding becomes available. In other words, the law passed but was not funded.
ATTENTION VCHS - 1st Day of School Tomorrow - Different Schedule
We are getting ready and excited to see you all tomorrow! Just a reminder the 1st day of school is a different schedule because of our Vandal Pride Kickoff Day. All students will be staying the entire day because we have class meetings and an all-school assembly at the end of the day (Start earning those Vandal Pride Class Points!)
If you do not have an enrichment, you will be going to the gym to help us set up for the Sports & Clubs Fair that will happen after class meetings. Below is the time schedule for the day.
CHECK your email for the full schedule of events!
