VCMS Summer Information

Information for TK/Kindergarten families

The first day for TK/Kindergarten students is a short day from 8:05-9:30 (TK), or 8:05-9:45 (Kindergarten).
Drop off is between 7:30-8:05.
Parents are invited to walk their child on to campus and stay for a classroom visit beginning at 8:05.
After parents have visited classrooms:
- Stay and meet other TK/Kindergarten parents in the courtyard from 8:30-9:30
- OR leave and come back to pick up your student by 9:30 (TK) or 9:45 (Kindergarten) at the classroom doors.

There is no back-to-school supply list at Valley Charter! Our generous yearly family support enables us to provide all supplies that students will need in each classroom.
Please send your student to school every day with a water bottle and a snack.
Hot lunch will be provided to students OR they can bring lunch from home. Here is the link to the monthly school menus.

At Meet the Teachers, VCES families will receive their student’s 2025-26 teacher and room assignments. VCES teachers will be there to meet families, and we will also provide information and sign-ups for future school events.
If you are unable to attend this event, please drop by the office for your student’s teacher/room assignment anytime between 8:00am-4pm on August 12th or 13th.

VCMS students and parents will receive lots of information about the upcoming school year and meet teachers and staff at Student and Parent Orientation. Look for more information toward the end of summer about orientation timing.

VCES school start time is 8:05am, early dismissal at 1:00pm.
VCMS school start time is 8:30am (SW), 8:25am (VNB), early dismissal at 1:25 (SW), 1:20 (VNB).

Please send your child to school on the first day with a backpack, water bottle, snack and lunch (if they'd like to bring them from home, otherwise the school will provide these items). Yearly fundraising covers the costs of school supplies for each student.
