VICK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Greetings Vick Parents and Guardians,

This is an important announcement regarding Buses 195 and 231.

Beginning on Monday, September 28, 2026, Bus 195 has been replaced by Bus 187. If your child previously rode Bus 195, they will now ride Bus 187.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday (9/29) and Wednesday (9/30) of this week, Bus 231 will run on the following schedule:

Bus 167 will run the AM routes on time, and Bus 542 will run the PM routes on time on both days. Again, if your child normally rides Bus 231, look for Bus 167 in the AM and Bus 542 in the PM on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We look forward to seeing all of our young Panthers bright and early every morning.

Have a great week.

Good Evening Panther Parents and Guardians,

This is Dr. Lott, Assistant Principal of Vick Elementary with this week's parent announcements.

Thank you to all of the parents and guardians who attended Chapter 1: The First Chapter Family Engagement Night last Monday, September 21st. We always enjoy meeting with parents and families. These opportunities help us forge relationships that benefit the instructional foundations for our young Panthers! We hope that you will mark your calendars for our next family engagement night on Monday, October 26 from 6:00-7:30 PM. The theme will be Vick-O-Treat: Read, Treat, and Repeat.

URGENT: Student Immunizations: We are past the exclusion date and some of our students are in jeopardy of being excluded if parents do not provide accurate, up to date immunization documentation ASAP. Letters have been sent home over the past few weeks. Please ensure that up-to-date immunization records for your child have been submitted to the front office as soon as possible.

Important: Parents, each year you must update your child’s proof of residency. Please send or bring 2 proofs of residency for your child to the front office. You may send these documents with your child if you cannot make it to the school building.
