A Great Place to Learn and Grow!

#Imagine

Welcome back, Bulldogs! We hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for an exciting new school year. This year's theme is #imagine, and we are thrilled to have you back at our fantastic school. We are already the best place for kids to learn and grow. Still, we want to imagine an even more inclusive, rigorous, and exciting place for everyone. With our incredible students, dedicated staff, and supportive community, we know this year will be the best one yet. So, let's imagine and make it happen together!

We will have a Transitional Kindergarten/Kindergarten Welcome Event for our youngest bulldogs on Wednesday, August 7, from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. This event is just for TK/K families. You will meet your child's teacher and other TK/K parents and learn about our fantastic school! You can also bring supplies/materials that day so you will not have your hands full on the first day of school.

On behalf of the entire Vessels staff, we welcome you to the 2024/25 school year. Let's make this year the best one yet!

Warm regards,

Mark Holman
