Happy Winter Break, VLAC Families and students! The VLAC office is closed for two weeks starting this afternoon until January 9th. Teachers are also off duty. The Lincoln and Calvert websites will remain open as students often like to use this time to work ahead or get caught up; the pacing guide pauses during this time. The end of first semester is Friday, January 27th. We wish everyone lots of family time, rest, and relaxation. Let's recharge those batteries to finish the semester strong! 🥰
