    Please mark your calendars and join us for the next School Council meeting on March 9, 2021 at 6:30 pm. I will be presenting a proposal for a shortened Friday for Professional Learning beginning in the 2021-22 school year. We meet virtually through TEAMS. 


    There will also be further opportunities to provide feedback as the consideration of the Shortened Day process progresses.  More information will be available on the Vista Heights website. Click the Vista Heights Logo for the site.
