GOTCHA! Caught doing GREAT!

GOTCHA1.jpgVUSD and the Vacaville Chamber of Commerce rolled out the red carpet for some of our best students so they could enjoy a day of fun at STARS Recreation Center in late May. The GOTCHA program recognizes students in middle and high schools who maintain good grades or show improvement throughout the year, stay out of trouble, and attend school regularly. After being welcomed in style by administrators and members of the Vacaville COC, the students spent the day bowling, playing arcade games, and laser tag. A barbecue lunch was included.

Every Minute Matters
A campaign to boost student attendance

Solano COE attendance logo

VUSD is partnering with the Solano County Office of Education to address chronic student absenteeism. The Every Minute Matters campaign seeks to educate families about the critical role they play in getting children to school on time every day. Better attendance in early grades leads to better reading performance, which leads to a higher likelihood to graduate from high school. 
See the Every Minute Matters Toolkit, and read the letter from Jay Speck, Solano County Superintendent of Schools.
