A big shoutout to our caring, hardworking, incredible teachers at VES!
They have been amazing through adversity the past two years and are absolute Rockstars! What a wonderful group of adult humans, teaching a wonderful group of young humans. Thank you for all you do! ♥
Hello FRSD Families,
This week we have had a significant increase in the number of known positive COVID cases in the District, in particular among staff at VES. We are working on trying to stop the spread of COVID within the school community so that we can continue to offer in-person learning to all of our students.
Your assistance in the effort to slow the spread in our classrooms is needed:
- Please do not send your child to school if they are sick.
- Masking in schools can also be helpful in slowing the spread of illness.
- Please talk with your child to decide if masking is an option for your family.
With upcoming events in all of our buildings (talent shows, book fairs, and more…) there will be a great opportunity to show your effort by practicing social distancing and mask-wearing. A little extra effort today may mean the difference between in-person learning or online learning in the coming few weeks.
We have made it this far without losing a single day of in-person instruction in the 21-22 school year. Your help and support is needed.
Thank you for your ongoing effort and support of our school community.
Congratulations to our Veneta Elementary Students of the Month! We’re proud of you!
As we continue forward this school year, it is already time to start thinking about planning activities and finalizing budgets for next year! 
We are asking for our families, staff, and community members to share their input and ideas so that we can build on our past engagement efforts.
Your input helps to guide the planning, direction, and priorities for using Student Investment Account funds. We will also use this data to make sure our goals are aligned and that we are hearing perspectives from multiple stakeholders.
Stay tuned— Over the next couple of weeks, the district will prepare its plan for the funds, and share with stakeholders. Continue to check the website for updates!
Please take a few moments to complete the survey below by April 15th:

We would like to give a huge shout out of appreciation to the owners (Doug and Bernie) and staff of Countryside Pizza & Grill and to our amazing community for their support of our students. The turnout for our pizza fundraiser was beyond what we could’ve expected. To everybody that helped out, that purchased food, that worked hard- thank you so much. We earned for $3354.26 for our school!!

We are grateful for our amazing Veneta Elementary Classified Staff members. They work tirelessly on behalf of our students, and are ready and willing to help out in any way we ask, sometimes on the spur of the moment. These staff members create special relationships with students in all sorts of settings: in small groups, out on recess, in the cafeteria, at entry doors, at morning drop off, etc. We would not be able to function without this amazing crew!
THANK YOU!
