Students are to keep cell phones and other electronic devices in their lockers prior to going to their homeroom. Cell phones cause disruptions to the learning environment. First offense: The student will be asked to put the device in their locker. Second offense: The device will be sent to the office until the end of the day. Third offence: A parent/guardian will need to come and pick up the device. Please contact the school with questions.
Vandy is implementing a House system this year where each homeroom is part of a collective House. There are five Houses named for important leaders from history. The students earn points for being kind, working hard, and representing themselves well in four arenas: education, service, extra-curricular, and citizenship. To solidify the houses into cohesive teams, we are starting a House dollar War as a fundraiser. The students bring in dollars to contribute to their houses and can also bring in larger bills to add as deductions to other houses. The funds raised from this event will purchase House t-shirts for each student which will be worn on House Days and during House competitions (much like Olympics but will be all year long). Each day the house that brings in the most money will be awarded House points. The House dollar War will run from now until October 29. Thank you for contributing to the success of this fundraiser.

Good Evening Vandy Students and Families. We have had some students test positive for COVID and we have had to place students on quarantine. It is extremely important to complete a self-assessment at home prior to coming to school. Students should not be coming to school if they are ill. We are doing everything we can to control the spread and keep students in school but we will need your help.
We are asking that students maintain social distancing, bring their own water bottle to school and adhere to their assigned seats. Masks are strongly encouraged but not required. Please contact the school with questions.
