Re-Enrollment Help/ Information
Please know that spots are limited here at the VLC for next year. You have first dibs on your spot if you enroll now! We suspect there will be a bigger waiting list next year for 6th grade spots. You will not want to wait to re-enroll. Please call or text me at (405) 593-1149 if you need any help.
Test Prep Fridays
As your student's homeroom teacher, I will be providing a State Test Boot Camp with my homeroom from 9:00am-12:30PM every Friday. The afternoons will be a time for Epic Ed help from all teachers. We would love to see all students here on Fridays until testing is done. We have many things planned for them.
Please note that Fridays are not required here at the VLC, just encouraged for remediation and Test Prep.♥️

No Cell Phone Policy
Cell Phones Need to be Left at Home
We are having a few students start to sneak their phones during class. If they are caught, they get one warning to put it away. The second offense is that they are walked to the office to keep their phone up front for a parent to pick up at the end of the day. Thank you for keeping our students engaged and ready to learn!
