Beginning January 13, 2021, VCMS will shift to a new remote learning schedule on Wednesdays only.  Our synchronous remote model was highly successful for the majority of our students and teachers.  As we continue to grow and adapt in this school year, it is imperative to make this adjustment to provide more synchronous contact time with all students.  Thank you for your cooperation.

​VCMS Wednesday Synchronous Instruction Schedule

January - March Hybrid Schedules 2021

The State of New York has determined that the Grand Island School District is located within an “Orange Zone,” as defined by the New York State Cluster Action Initiative. As a result, weekly testing of students and staff is required due to elevated rates of COVID-19 transmission in the area. The District is required to test 20% of in-person students over the course of a month for as long as the District remains in a designated “Orange Zone” or until the State modifies or lifts the zone requirements.

In order to test your child, we need your consent. Students will be selected on a random basis each week, so if your child is selected one week, they may or may not be tested the following week. All testing will be performed following New York State Department of Health (“DOH”) guidelines and administered by our school nurses.
