Hello VAPA Community! This is Dr. Trimis with a few announcements! Monday is a late-start day. ¡Hola Comunidad de VAPA! Este es el Dr. Trimis con algunos anuncios!  El lunes es un día de inicio tardío.

The Honor Roll Assembly honoring students from the Fall Semester will take place on Wednesday, January 29th at 5pm. Students will be notified on Monday afternoon if they will be awarded at this ceremony.

 Make-up ID pictures will be Wednesday, January 29th during 4th period, beginning at 9am.

 School Site Council meets this Thursday at 5 pm in Rm. D116.

 We are implementing a new tardy system starting Tuesday, January 28, 2020.

The front gate will be closed by 8:28 am and students will need to enter through the Welcome Center and report immediately to the VAPA Office for an electronic tardy pass. All students entering after 8:30 am will need an electronic tardy pass to enter the classroom.

Detention for tardies will begin in a couple of weeks for students who accumulate multiple tardies.

Excessive tardies will may affect participation in future events and activities, and will accumulate from year to year to be considered for eligibility for senior activities including the graduation ceremony. However, serving detention may clear some tardies.

Please ensure that your student carries his/her ID each day. 

 Congratulations to our Winter Sports teams who are having great seasons. Look for more information on play-offs that will begin in a few weeks. Congratulations to our VAPA Academic Decathlon Team who are in the middle of their competition events and good look to Coach Avalos and the team as they conclude their season this Saturday with their interview, speech, and Super Quiz competitions.

Have a great week and I'll see you at school!

Take Care,

Dr. Edward Trimis, Principal
