Hello VAPA Community! This is Dr. Trimis with a few announcements! ¡Hola Comunidad de VAPA! Este es el Dr. Trimis con algunos anuncios!

At Legacy VAPA, we are continuing to connect with our students and community online. You may hear “virtual learning system” or “virtual academy” and these are all another way of saying “online school”. We will continue teaching and learning in the environment for the rest of the semester which ends June 12 and in summer school, June 24-July 28. Teachers will be holding regular office hours and teaching online, sometimes through live online sessions with their students and sometimes through e-mail and text communications, depending on the teacher and the class. We hold staff and community meetings on Zoom, one of the video conferencing platforms that many schools use.

Here are a few reminders:

• Grab and Go school meals continue to be distributed at South Gate and Southeast High Schools from 7-11 am each weekday.
• Seniors are being sent refunds for Grad Nite, which was cancelled by Disneyland, in the mail.
• Seniors are being reimbursed for fees paid for Prom and the Senior Picture as soon as the checks are ready and they will be distributed at school.
• We are preparing some online events to celebrate college acceptances and graduation.
• The 15 week report cards will be out soon. Please support our work at VAPA helping students succeed by ensuring students to their assigned work and attend classes online as scheduled.
• We are moving forward with preparation for the next school year including finalizing our budgets, completing the master schedule and assigning teachers and students to classes, and calendaring events, and sending out welcome packets and letters.
