Villa Families —

Summer winding down means that the excitement is building to have our Jems back on campus! If you were unable to attend one of the reopening meetings on August 19 or 23, please visit www.vjmhs.org/communications to view a recording of the Zoom presentation. Also note that all recent school communications will be archived here throughout the school year for your convenience.

 

For those that are new to Villa, the Class of 2025 and our Transfers, WELCOME! You'll receive an email just like this every Friday morning throughout the school year with information for the following week at Villa. It will regularly include a schedule with reminders, and, once per month, we will expand the email to share about the recent accomplishments and accolades of our students, staff, and community.

 

If you have not received your transportation information, please contact Mrs. Brown at mbrown@vjmhs.org.

 

The Heathland Cafeteria opens on Thursday, September 2. Students will continue to select and purchase lunches online in advance. (For example, you may purchase lunch for Thursday any time after 3pm on Wednesday until 8am on Thursday. A limited amount of prepackaged foods — cookies, fruit cups, snacks, and yogurts — will be available to purchase during lunch periods also.) Click here to view the flyer with additional information for creating your account. Important Note: This is a new system. Even if you had an account last year, all parents/guardians must set up a new account this year. Click the link in the flyer or visit https://flybysoftware.com/register/cafe to register.

 

If you have questions about this weekly email or would like to sign up an additional email address to receive school communications, please email Erica Franzzo at efranzzo@vjmhs.org with your student(s)' name, grade, and the additional email. In addition to parent and staff emails, this weekly communication is sent to all students' Microsoft accounts as well.
