This is what I sent her
Vassar Public Schools will be closed on Friday, March 22, 2024, due to high rates of illness and the incoming weather. Please check our website and social media sites for any additional updates regarding extracurricular activities. Those decisions will be made around 1pm.
Tomorrow, Friday, March 22, will be a half day for students due to Teacher Professional Development in the afternoon.
Tech Center Families, just a reminder that there will be no tech center tomorrow, March 8. Students still need to report to the district for their classes.
Vulcan Community.
Thank you for your patience as we made some changes to the tentative calendar that was put out recently. Attached is the updated calendar. The attached calendar is tentative and subject to changes in the next few months. A final calendar will be shared once approved by all necessary parties.
It’s that time of the year again . . . . Vassar Public School Theater Department will present the play, HAPPY DAZE! Come join us on Saturday, March 16 at 7:00 or Sunday, March 17th at 2:00 pm. Tickets are available beforehand by contacting a cast member and visiting the high school office. Tickets will also be available at the door the day of the performance.
Those in attendance should watch for some pretty nostalgic Vassar attire!
This will also be the last time to catch our remarkable seniors: James Wood, Daniel Sanders, Nick Tallman, Le’Myah Golden, and Baeli Partridge grace our stage!
Of course, we are disappointed that our non-homestead millage and bond proposal were unsuccessful.
We plan to assess the election results before deciding our next steps.
Vassar Public Schools wants to assure parents, members of the community, and school staff that—despite this setback—we will continue moving forward and working together to provide the best possible educational experience for students and other members of the Vassar community. Thank you for caring enough to vote.
Today is Election Day!
Vote at your regular polling location from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m., or return your absentee ballot to your local clerk before 8 p.m. TODAY!

Why are renovations to Townsend North included in the bond proposal?
Townsend North is a building owned by Vassar Public Schools. This building is used for storing district records that must be kept according to record retention laws, additional storage needs, athletic practice spaces, and school district meetings, and a portion is leased to the State of Michigan to operate the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) and Head Start.
Since Vassar Public Schools does not operate a preschool program, leasing a portion of the building to GSRP and Head Start programs provides valuable preschool services to 32 area children. Revenue generated through the lease for the GSRP program helps offset utilities and other operational expenses. Part of the lease agreement is maintaining the building and playground and providing food
service.
Most Townsend North families who enroll their children in GSRP and Head Start programs tend to register their children in Vassar Public Schools when they begin kindergarten. This keeps residents of Vassar Public Schools attending our school district, benefiting the school district for years to come through the foundation allowance the school district receives for each student enrolled.
Since Towsend North is still a property used by the school district and a portion of the building is rented to State of Michigan agencies, Vassar Public Schools must keep the building in good working order. The bond proposal will address the aging roof, replacing HVAC systems, adding an emergency generator, upgrading the playground (the brick walkway will remain with this update), replacing the service drive, and adding storage units for instructional material.
Where can I get information about voting (such as how to register, where to vote, and absentee voting)?
Go to the Michigan Voter Information website (www.michigan.gov/vote) or call your local clerk’s office.
