The link for the Fall Transportation Form will be accessible starting today for the 2025-2026 School Year. You can access this link (below) on the Vandals App, our website, or your email to complete the form. Every student must complete this by July 15 with as much detail as possible, in order to ensure your child is set up for transportation. Please do not rely on what is in the program now, we are updating the transportation program this summer, and all information may not carry over into the new program. So, once again, everyone must fill out a Fall Transportation Form by July 15.
Due to continuing driver storage, we may have to rework routes. Also, due to overcrowding on the late buses and this staff shortage, we will need all eligible pre-k through 4th-grade students to ride the early buses regardless of older siblings. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please help us to start the new school year out with the least amount of confusion as possible.
In order to give us time to work through and schedule all of our district students’ transportation, please wait to call with any questions until after August 1st. The transportation department phone number is 618-283-8135

Baseball Camp is ON for today! All participants will need a waiver filled out at drop off this morning.
For all those that are planning on attending the Jr Vandal baseball camp tomorrow, we wanted to let you know that we are going to be keeping an eye on the weather. If it rains too much this evening and the fields are too wet to be on, we will cancel. We will make an announcement no later than 8AM tomorrow morning, so everyone has an opportunity to change their plans.

We're thrilled to offer a STEM/Maker Space Summer Camp from June 23 to June 27, right
here at Vandalia Junior High School. This hands-on, engaging camp is perfect for young
innovators who love to explore, build, and create!
We have two age-specific sessions:
● One for elementary-aged students from 10 AM to 12 PM, and
● One for junior high students from 1 PM to 3 PM.
Campers will dive into fun, interactive projects involving science, technology, engineering, and
design—everything from building simple machines to coding and creative problem-solving.
The cost is $120 for the full week, and space is limited—so early registration is encouraged!

We can’t wait to spark your child’s imagination and creativity this summer. Thanks, and have a
