Updated with Photos: Parade Photos and Pumpkin Patch Photos. Wednesday, October 31st, Vintage's Fall Festival activities will continue at 8:30AM with students bringing their decorated pumpkin to the pumpkin patch located between the Mail Office and Library.  Later in the day, a costume parade will take place at 1:15PM.  Families are invited to come and enjoy this fun,  festive, community event.  Please review the guidelines (In English or Spanish) for this event below or click here to download a copy of the Fall Festival Guidelines.  STUDENTS MAY NOT COME TO SCHOOL DRESSED IN COSTUME.

Students may choose to not participate wearing a costume; but, all students will be invited to parade around with their classmates, if they wish. (If you prefer that your child not view the parade, please contact the main office or your child's teacher beforehand.)

Parents, This year, we will purchase ST Math as a supplemental instructional program for all students in grades TK-5.  ST Math is a visual Math instructional program that builds a deep conceptual understanding of Math through rigorous learning and creative problem solving to engage, motivate and challenge students toward higher achievement.
 
ST is an effective digital learning program that can make a real impact and benefits every level of student: struggling students grow to become proficient, while proficient students become advanced.  ST Math offers personalized learning for students as they progress through the curriculum at their own pace.  Students are engaged because they must solve tricky puzzles, and that motivates them to drive to the next level. 
 
We need parent assistance with covering the start-up cost.  The initial start-up cost (one time only) is $60 per student.  The cost with each ensuing year is $10 per student.  We are asking for your donation of $10 per student.  Every student that donates $10 will:

• Have free dress on Friday, November 9th and,
• Their name will be entered into a raffle for Pizza with the Principal.
  • 5 names from each grade in grades K-3, and 10 names from each grade in grades 4-5 will be randomly picked for the raffle.

The donations must be turned in by Friday, November 2, 2018 to qualify for the Pizza Raffle.
 
Note:  Student participation in this program is not dependent on a donation.  All students will be provided with access and no student will be denied use of ST Math.
 
Thank you parents for your continued support of our students and teachers.

Estimados padres,

Este año, compraremos ST Math como un programa de instrucción suplementario para todos los estudiantes en los grados TK-5. ST Math es un programa de instrucción de matemáticas visual que desarrolla una profunda comprensión conceptual de matemáticas a través del aprendizaje riguroso y la resolución creativa de problemas para motivar, y desafiar a los estudiantes a alcanzar un mayor rendimiento.

ST Math es un programa de aprendizaje digital efectivo que puede tener un impacto real y beneficiar a todos los niveles de estudiantes: los estudiantes con dificultades crecen para llegar a ser competentes, mientras que los estudiantes competentes se vuelven avanzados. ST Math ofrece aprendizaje personalizado para los estudiantes a medida que avanzan a través del plan de estudios a su propio paso. Los estudiantes estarán involucrados porque tienen que resolver acertijos complicados y eso los motiva a progresar al siguiente nivel.


Necesitamos la ayuda de los padres para cubrir el gasto inicial. El costo inicial (solo una vez) es de $60 por estudiante. El costo para cada año siguiente, es de $10 por estudiante. Estamos pidiendo su donación de $10 por cada estudiante.  Cada estudiante que dona $10:

• Tendra vestido gratis el viernes 9 de noviembre y
• Su nombre se ingresará en una rifa de Pizza con la Directora.
  • 5 nombres de cada grado en los grados K-3, y 10 nombres de cada grado en los grados 4-5 se seleccionarán aleatoriamente para la rifa.

 
Las donaciones tienen que ser entregadas el viernes 2 de noviembre de 2019 al más tardar para calificar para la Rifa de Pizza.

Nota: La participación de los estudiantes en este programa no depende de una donación.  Se les proporcionará acceso a todos los estudiantes y a ningún estudiante se le negará el uso de ST Math.

Gracias a los padres por su continuo apoyo de nuestros estudiantes y maestros.

Friday, October 12, 2018's evening was a beautiful, warm, fall evening. Families gathered on Vintage Magnet's campus as clouds also gathered in the distance with sheet lightening flashing.  Attendees started the evening off with some wonderful refreshments available from Fratelli's Pizza and Kona Shaved Ice. The evening's key note speaker, Dr. Mar Vaquero, Mission Design and Navigation Engineer at JPL, educated the audience about the Cassini space probe and its journey to the 6th planet and its rings and its final demise. After the presentation, families enjoyed a variety of hands-on activities and presentation by STEM experts.  At 8:00 PM the evening came to an end and within a hour the skies opened up providing us with much needed rain.

Thank you to everyone who made this evening a success.  Thank you, also, to all those families that came out and supported this event.
