Vista Unified tiene un compromiso profundo y de larga data con las artes, ofreciendo oportunidades para que los estudiantes experimenten las artes visuales y escénicas en cada escuela.

Una de las formas en que celebramos ese compromiso es exhibiendo el arte de los estudiantes. Y no hay una oportunidad más grande para experimentar el increíble talento y habilidad que nuestros estudiantes han desarrollado que el Festival Anual de las Artes de Vista Unified.

Esta exhibición celebra su 20° año el sábado 19 de octubre, de 10 AM a 4 PM en Main Street en el centro de Vista.

Para aprender más sobre las oportunidades artísticas de Vista Unified y qué esperar en el festival, el Dr. Doyle está acompañado por Susan Stuber, una maestra líder en Artes Visuales y Escénicas y la fuerza coordinadora detrás del festival.

Vista Unified has a deep and long-running commitment to the arts, with opportunities for students to experience the visual and performing arts at every school.

One of the ways we celebrate that commitment is to showcase student art. And there is no bigger opportunity to experience the incredible talent and skill our students have developed than the annual Vista Unified Festival of the Arts.

This showcase is celebrating its 20th year on Saturday, October 19th, from 10 AM - 4PM on Main Street in downtown Vista.

To learn more about Vista Unified’s arts opportunities and what to expect at the festival, Dr. Doyle is joined by Susan Stuber, a Visual and Performing Arts lead teacher and the coordinating force behind the festival.

Student attendance is critical for success at school not just for students, but teachers, staff, and families. On this episode we welcome Rhonda Marriott-Spencer, Director of Multi-Tiered Systems Support, to talk about the roles attendance plays in our students’ lives, and how Vista Unified has been a leader in sustaining high attendance rates.

We’ll address the academic, social-emotional, and financial impact of attendance, as well as share some of the ways that Vista’s schools support students and families to maintain strong attendance rates.

In fact, at a time when many school districts are seeing decreasing attendance rates, Vista Unified has been able to maintain strong attendance. The district’s layers of support for students and families plays a big part, as does an intentional effort to keep attendance at the forefront of conversations.

On this episode, we are talking about the new cell phone rules in Vista Unified schools, as our district joins hundreds from across the country in addressing the growing dependence on phones.

Joining Dr. Doyle on this episode are Dr. Cheree McKean, Executive Director, Student Support Services for Vista Unified, and Jeremy Walden, Principal of Mission Vista High School.

We’ll outline the new rules, talk about how they were developed, review some key research on the impact of cell phones on children, and explore reactions from students, staff, and parents. It is a vital conversation about an important topic.

Vista Unified has been hard at work at schools across the district making facility upgrades and improvements. These projects are part of Measure LL, a $247 million bond initiative approved by the voters in Vista in November 2018 “to repair, upgrade, equip classrooms, science labs, local school facilities supporting college readiness, career preparation, math, science, engineering, technology, skilled trades; repair aging classrooms/schools including deteriorating roofs, plumbing, and electrical; improve student safety/school security.”

This work includes everything from new structures like multi-story buildings at Vista High School to unseen, but very much needed, infrastructure updates to vital systems like plumbing and physical plants. 

Joining Dr. Doyle on this episode are a variety of voices from Vista Unified, including school principals from California Ave, Casita, Vista Magnet Middle School, and Vista High School. In addition, students at some of the sites where construction has occurred share what the improvements mean to them and affect their experiences at school.
