Registration for returning students who will be in first through fifth grade at Veneta during the 2014-2015 school year has begun. Yesterday we sent home a packet with each student. The packet included a student verification form that parents need to correct and update as well as other school forms including medical information and transportation. All parents need to do is update and/or complete the forms and send them back to school with their child. Registration forms are due back by June 6th.
Parents who return the forms by June 6th will not need to come to registration in August and those children will be enrolled for next year. Continue reading
Thank you to everyone who supported our school bond and helped it to pass- from the voters who chose to make an investment in the future of our community to all of the volunteers and staff members who worked so hard to make it happen. You are amazing. This is a huge event for Veneta Elementary School. The bond is going to allow us to fix some things that need to be fixed, add what needs to be added, and make huge improvements to our building. Thanks to yesterday’s vote, we will be able to give children in Veneta a safer building that better meets their learning needs now and for the next twenty years. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
