Tell your friend and family the School of Choice window for Vassar Schools is now open! School of Choice applications are being accepted until August 11 for students in grades K-12. If you know a student outside the Vassar district who would like to attend one of our great schools, please get in touch with Stacy in the Superintendent’s office at 989-823-8535 option 1.
Thank you to our Central Staff for purchasing this bench as a tribute to the late Mr. Phil Marcy who spent many years as Principal at Central and at Vassar Middle School. You will be missed by many Mr. Marcy!
How cool is this?! We have an overabundance of boys'/men's dress pants, shirts, suits, sweaters, shoes, etc., and a handful of ladies' dress clothes that have been donated to our Clothes Closet. For the rest of this week, we have all these clothes out free for our students to help themselves! These will be great for job interviews, church, weddings, etc. If you know your child is in need of dress clothes, talk to them about looking through what we have. A special thank you to Mrs. Bobbi Gamet for organizing all of the clothes so well for this giveaway and for her hard work in keeping our Clothes Closet so well organized!
Last chance for attendance makeups for grades 6-11 will be June 12-14 before and after school.
Attendance make-ups will be credited on an hourly basis, for any students with 10 absences (unexcused or excused, not including medical or professional absences). For example, if you have 10 absences in all 6 hours, for which you earn credit or a grade, you will need to attend 6 sessions. If you have 10 absences in 4 classes, you will be required to attend 4 sessions in order to earn credit. Students with 11 or more unexcused (U) or excused (E) absences will not be allowed to make up days and will need to sign up for Summer School to begin credit recovery. Transportation will not be available for attendance make-up sessions. These will be held in Mrs. Barber's room during the following times:
6:45 AM - 7:45 AM
3:15PM - 4:15PM
