Vassar Public Schools

Again this year, S.A.D.D. (Students Against Destructive Decisions) is fortunate to partner with Ten Point Towing and Impact Images, who have generously contributed donations and offered their support in our mission to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving. We invite everyone to come and see the powerful display we've set up in the parking lot across from the high school. It's more than just an exhibit; it's a sobering reminder of what can happen when someone chooses to drive under the influence. This impactful visual will hopefully encourage responsible decision-making among our students and within the wider community.

On Wednesday, Sept. 25th, we hosted a very successful Blood Drive at Vassar High School thanks to the help of our NHS students and The Red Cross. We had 30 donors, the majority being first-time student donors and 26 units were collected. What a great thing these students are doing by donating blood and "saving lives". We are so proud of our students, staff, and community that took the time to donate- THANK YOU!

Since we had a great time meeting our new teachers and staff, we've decided to continue with the rest of our staff! Introducing....Mrs. Goforth!

6th-12th grade pictures are in and were handed out to students today during lunch. Every student should have a school ID in their envelope. Their school ID can be used at home sporting events and will allow them to pay $1 to get in. Students will only be issued one ID so please be careful not to lose it. If you didn’t order pictures for your child, there is a proof in each envelope, and you can still order them, just follow the instructions on the proof sheet. Retakes will be taken on October 25th if your child wasn't here on picture day or if you aren't happy with your child's photo.
