Dear Parents,

 

  Welcome to Vanleer Elementary. The faculty and I are happy to have your child as a student. Our goal is to help your child grow academically, socially, and emotionally, therefore, the school’s role in educating your child is very complex.

 

   Academics MUST come first. Vanleer takes pride in being a School of Excellence. The many other areas require a partnership of home, school, and community. You, as parents, are a vital resource to us at Vanleer. We need your support and guidance as we progress through the school year.  We encourage you to visit the school and become involved in the yearly events, as well as the daily routine of your child. In order for students to be successful, open communication between home and school is very important.

 

    Vanleer Elementary is a family. We believe that every student will succeed and take pride in their accomplishments. We also believe in teaching responsibilities and good decision making skills.

 

    This handbook is to help you understand school policies, programs, and procedures. We would appreciate if you would take the time to review the policies and procedures with your child. We ask that that you and your child sign and return the colored sheet at the end of the handbook to assure us of this communication.

 

   We look forward to a successful year and believe much will be accomplished with your suggestions and support.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Rachel Weaver
