**UPDATE - Date Change*** In order to give more attention to each athlete, our end-of-the-quarter banquet will be organized by individual sport. The banquets will be held after school beginning at 3:00 p.m. with their teammates and coaches. When we were choosing the start time we took working parents into account, however, there is a significant number of students who are unable to return to school later in the evening. We felt because of that we wanted to make the student's ability to attend a higher priority. Athletic certificates will be handed out and refreshments will be served. Parents are more than welcome to attend. In order for each athlete to enter the banquet, they must have already returned their uniform or have it with them to turn in at the door. Due to the replacement of the gym floor, we had we adjust the scheduling of our banquets this quarter to take place after we return from spring break. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. On ***Wednesday, March 22nd*** The Wrestling team banquet will be held in the MPR, and The Boy's Soccer team banquet will be held in Ms. Duke's classroom (the art room). On Thursday, March 23rd The Girl's Basketball team banquet will be held in the MPR, and The Cheer team banquet will be held in Mr. Ellsworth's classroom (room #1801). Thank you for everything you do to support our student-athletes and our athletic programs. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mr. Ellsworth at [email protected].

Did you know that Vail parents choose where to send their children to high school? The Vail School District believes in providing parents with a choice of the high school that their children attend. We have created six unique high schools from which you can choose. Through this process, you will have the opportunity to learn more about each of the high schools and choose the school that is the best fit for your child for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. Each Monday morning you will receive an email from us with your “next steps” in the high school choice process including things you can be doing to help you make the best choice when that time comes. This week is the time to familiarize yourself with each of the high school options and save some dates. Please CLICK HERE to visit our high school choice website where you will find information for each school including their mission/vision, courses, clubs, sports, fine arts, career and technical education programs, and more. And, then save the following open house dates where you and your 8th grader can take tours, ask questions, and meet the principals, teachers, and staff. Tuesday, January 10th - VIC Open House 5:30-7PM Wednesday, January 11th - Andrada Polytechnic Open House 5:00PM -7:00PM Thursday, January 12th - Cienega Open House 5:00PM - 7:00PM Wednesday, January 18th - Empire Open House 5:00PM - 7:00PM Tuesday, January 24th - Vail Academy Open House 5:00PM - 7:00PM Thursday, January 26th - Mica Mountain Open House 5:00PM - 7:00PM All 8th grade families will submit their high school choice rankings online beginning Monday, January 30th on the HS Choice Portal. The process is not first come first served. Choices and changes may be submitted through Friday, February 17th. You will need your parent PowerSchool account information to log onto the Portal to submit your high school choices. Families will be notified of final school placements by email Friday, March 3rd.
