With school right around the corner... Think before you share: back-to-school photos.
Back-to-school photos often reveal personal information about your child. School name, grade, age, identifying features, etc.- these can all be used by predators and scammers.
Regardless of your privacy settings or friends, remember it is best to keep personal information to a minimum.
This week is the last week to turn in your School of Choice applications for the fall 23-24 school year! 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 contact Stacy in the Superintendent’s office at 989-823-8535 option 1 before it's too late!
Thank you to everyone who shared their input when we sent out a thought exchange asking, "What are some things you would most like to see in our facilities to support the success of our students?" We had a number of participants who provided us with great insight. The administration has gathered and reviewed all of your feedback. Please read the attached letter from Superintendent Blackwell for the latest update!
Thank you to those who participated in the thought exchange the district shared last month! We received great feedback from our Vulcan Community.

On June 14, the Board of Education approved a new five-year Strategic Plan, which sets goals and creates a master plan for the district's future. This year-long process involved students, staff, families, community, and Board of Education members.

You'll be asked to respond to one open-ended question, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others (20 to 30 is ideal), and learn what's important to the group.
Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate, and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. We will send reminder information over then next few weeks. Ratings are important as they will help us understand the most important areas to focus on! Thank you in advance for your help and input.
The last bell is about to ring but as our school year ends we want to take a minute to recognize some faces that are well known within the district: Mr. Corey Holland, Mrs. Ann Auernhamer, Mrs. Carla Phillips, Mrs. Tessa King. These four individuals have a combined 113 years of service to the Vassar Public School District! They have touched the lives of countless students, community members, and staff . Thank you for dedicating such a large portion of your life to being Vulcans and shaping young minds - Enjoy your Retirement!
