STEM Night

Mark your calendars! STEM Night is just around the corner! January 17, 2019 from 5:30-7:00 pm Veterans Park Elementary will have our 3rd annual STEM night. This is a fun night for the whole family! There will be different science, technology, engineering, and math activities all throughout the building. Activities range from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Last year was a great success and we can’t wait for you to come back and experience some new challenges or repeat some of your favorites from the past two years. Look for more information after the break!

Breakfast With My Best Man

Saturday, January 26, 2019 will be our annual Breakfast with My Best Man! Breakfast will be catered by First Watch from 8:00-10:00 am.  Please look for a flyer to come home in the next few weeks to sign up for this event! It is a great time to students to spend with family!  

Immunization Changes

The Kentucky Department of Education has mandated new immunization certificates beginning with the 2018-19 school year for every student in the Commonwealth.  New state laws requiring all students to be immunized for Hepatitis A and students 16 years of age and older to receive the Meningococcal ACWY (MCV4) vaccine created the need for new certificates for every student.  If you have not had a chance to take care of these new requirements, please find time over the winter break to obtain certificates for your students from your healthcare provider. Students not in compliance may be excluded from attendance, especially in the event of widespread illness.  If you are unsure if your student's records are up-to-date, please check with his or her school when we return to school on January 3, 2019.
