SCHOOL ZONE 7-3-14

SAFETY MESSAGE

The day after school ended we saw a sudden influx of contractors who are involved in completing the new construction and renovation projects going on at Vermilion High School, Sailorway Middle School and the new elementary school.  In addition, the road crews involved in repaving Sanford Street are storing some materials on our site.  While we are limiting access to all of our buildings for students and staff, there may be some children and families in the area using the athletic fields.  If you are traveling through the area of Sanford Street, Douglas Street or Sailorway Drive, please be extremely cautious and keep an eye out for construction vehicles or people walking in the area.  Safety of everyone is our top priority.  We appreciate your patience while these projects are ongoing. 

SUMMER SCHOOL SUCCESS

More than 70 high school students are participating in online summer education opportunities this year.  Some of these students are making up credits, and others are completing credits so that they can move into advanced level courses during the school year.  The online courses are completed by the students with assistance from licensed teachers that are available to answer questions and provide instruction when necessary. 

SUMMER READING FOR HONORS COURSES

Students who will be enrolled in honors, advanced placement or PSEO courses for next year are reminded to check the summer reading requirements on our district website.  It is important that students complete these assignments before the beginning of the school year.
