Vaughan Elementary School

Good Evening Parents, This is Principal Mrs. McMannen, with your weekly updates. I hope that you all had a great weekend. Our weekly covid screening will take place tomorrow, February 7th. I would like to encourage all students to participate in our weekly testing. Our weekly screenings serve as an added safeguard to keeping our students safe. Please make sure that you are sending your child to school with a mask on. Students and staff are required to wear a mask before they enter the building or get on the school bus. We are starting to have an increase in students arriving without a mask and that is unacceptable. Progress reports will be sent home Tuesday, February 8, 2022. I’m also asking you all to make sure that you are continuing to check your child’s grades in the Parent Portal on PowerSchool. If you don’t have an account please see Mrs. Paynter for a username and password. This Thursday, February 10th, is an Early Release Day. Students will be dismissed at 12:30 pm. Let’s have some fun and see how creative we can be on 2/22/2022! I’m asking everyone to wear tutus, ties, and tennis shoes. This day will be the kick-off of us having one theme day a month from now until the end of the school year. Let’s finish strong and have some fun!. The tardy bell rings at 8:15 am. If your child is not here by 8:15 you will need to park and come sign your child in. Please don’t send your child to the door unattended because they need to be signed in by an adult. I would also like to remind you all that our student check-out time ends at 2:30 pm. Please send a note in advance if you are planning to check out your child after the 2:30 deadline. This prevents the office staff from having to decline your request. Let’s continue to work together to have a successful school year. Thanks for your continued support of Vaughan Elementary School. Let’s have a great week Eagles!

Parents, you will drive your child through the main parking lot and teachers will hand you candy from the trunks of their cars.. Students are encouraged to dress up but everyone MUST STAY IN THE VEHICLE. We are excited about these two events and we look forward to seeing you at both. Have a great week!
