Thanks to all of the parents and guardians who were able to attend our Back to School Night event on Tuesday. It was nice to see so many of you there. Your children are off to a great start and I am looking forward to an outstanding year.
Students will now be allowed to carry string bags in the hallways between classes. Please limit the size of the bags so that we still have some room to move through the halls. Full size backpacks should be left in the lockers during the day.
Please make sure that your children come to school with their chromebooks charged.
The 2024-2025 Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL) and Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Application is now available! The criteria for determining eligibility for FRL and Summer EBT was expanded for the 2024-2025 school year by the State of New Jersey. Completing the FRL and Summer EBT application benefits students and the District as a whole. If determined eligible, children receive meals at no cost during the school year and, through the Summer EBT program, families receive financial assistance for purchasing food during the summer months when school meals are unavailable. Beyond meal benefits, these applications can provide additional resources to families and provide the District with additional State and Federal funding. We encourage all families to apply, even if you’re unsure of your eligibility. The expansion of FRL and EBT eligibility criteria by the State means that families who were not eligible in prior years may now be eligible in 2024-2025. The process is simple and confidential, and the potential benefits are substantial. The application can be accessed online through the following link: https://www.vtsd.com/o/vtsd/page/food-service-information. If you have any questions, need assistance with the application process, or need to access a paper application, please contact Robyn Homestead at rhomestead@vtsd.com.
Please remember that in order for students to purchase a snack they must have money on their account or have cash. They cannot charge for a snack.
