Administrator's Message
Dear Village School Families,
One of our biggest events of the year is happening Thursday. Please be sure to join us for our Dia de los Muertos celebration. There'll be face painting, fabulous crafts, including fun literacy activities, student performances, and a wonderful potluck dinner. It's also worth checking out our glorious ofrenda, intended for students and families to reflect on those departed loved ones (see the photo below).
Thanks for being part of our community. We hope to see you tomorrow evening!

Día de los Muertos Celebration
¡Feliz Día de los Muertos!
The ofrenda for Día de los Muertos has been set up in the Village School Commons, and is ready for photos of beloved people and animals who have passed.
If your child would like to place a photo of a loved one on the altar, please bring it to school any time this week, before the celebration on Thursday evening. Please make sure the photo is labeled on the back with your child's name.
As a reminder, the Día de los Muertos celebration will take place tomorrow, 11/5, in the Village School Commons, starting off at 5:30 PM with a potluck dinner. All are welcome! Please see below for more details:
Community Service Walkathon - Final
Thanks to everyone who contributed to our Walkathon or to all of our students and families who solicited donations! The total raised, $18,700, puts us well past our goal of $16,000. Half of this will support The Village Kitchen and the other half will go to our partnering environmental education organizations. We'll always accept outstanding donations, but please get them to us by Friday if you want them counted towards grade level tabulation.
News from Title I
These days the small groups room which houses the Title I program, is filled with the sounds of students learning math, learning to read, connecting, creating and having fun!
We'd love to have you stop by our activity table at the Día de los Muertos festival on Thursday, Nov 5. We'll be providing fun literacy activities connected to the celebration in the craft room which will be in the library. Students can make their own mini ofrenda, color book marks and take home an illustrated information and activity book. We'll also decorate a remembrance tree with memories and pictures of important beings in our lives who have died. We hope to see you there!
Lastly, The federal government requires us to let parents know that they may request information about the educational qualifications of our instructional staff. The links provide additional information.
