Veneta Elementary is currently seeking applications from parents who are interested in serving as the parent representative for our Site Council. Site Council is a group that meets at least three times during the school year to review school policies/procedures and provide feedback/guidance for the principal. Site Council meeting times occur either at 7:00 AM before school or after school from 2:30 to 3:30. Parents who are interested should fill out the form below and bring it to the school office by September 22nd. If there is more than one parent interested, we will have parents vote during Open House.

Site Council  Application

We are off to a great start of what promises to be a great school year. It’s been exciting to see all of your children again and see how much they have grown up over the summer. Thank you to all of our students, families, and just some quick updates

1. Thank you to all of our parents today who used our new drop-off lane. We received a lot of positive feedback from parents who appreciated the separate lane and being able to drop students off right at the curb. Just a reminder to please pull forward to the sign and drop students off at the sign. Continue reading →

It’s here! The bus loop that we have all looked forward to for the last year is being finished as I type this. That means some major changes to our parking lot will take place. With the buses out of the way, we will be designating a drop off lane where parents can drop off their students right at the school sidewalk. No more having students cross the parking lot to get to the school. The drop off lane will come in from Territorial to the front of the school where there will be a drop off point. We ask that parents pull forward and drop off at the drop off point which will be designated with a sign. Please make sure students exit cars on the curbside. Continue reading →

Weather forecasts for Thursday are calling for rain and the likelihood of thunderstorms in the afternoon. We do not want students and families on the field during a thunderstorm for obvious safety reasons. So we are opting to stay safe and make changes to our Field Day Schedule. Events will be either in the building or under the covered area. We are also shifting the time for the morning Field Day, starting earlier so we have time to set up for lunch. Field Day for 3rd thru 5th grade classes will start at 8:15 and end at 10:12. Field Day for Kindergarten thru 2nd grade classes will start at 12:10 and end at 2:07. There are no changes to the lunch schedule. Continue reading →
