Reflections Art Program – Call for Entries!
The Reflections Art Program is an annual PTA sponsored program encouraging students to participate in the arts.
The 2018-2019 Reflections theme is, “Heroes Around Me”. All Vista Verde students are invited to participate. Students may submit their artwork, reflecting the 2018-2019 Reflections Art Program theme, in one of six (6) categories: Visual Art (2D & 3D), Photography, Literature, Music Composition, Dance Choreography, and Film Production.
There are 3 grade categories (K-2, 3-5, 6-8), as well as a Special Artist’s category. The Special Artist Division welcomes students from all grades and abilities and offers non-artistic accommodations (e.g. adaptive technology; transcribing; holding a camera) for students to participate fully in the Reflections Art Program.
It’s easy to participate:
1. Reflect on this year’s theme: “Heroes Around Me”.
2. Create an original work inspired by the theme.
3. Celebrate your achievements and win prizes!

Parking Lot Protocol and Drop-off – Pick-up Procedures – Safe Routes to School Map
Parking Lot Protocol and Drop-off /Pick-up Procedures/Safe Routes to School Map:
Now that we are into our first month, please take some time again to read and review our comprehensive parking lot procedures. We encourage you to share this information with grandparents and other care givers who may come to school to either drop off or pick up your child.
Please embrace our S.T.A.R. philosophy by being Safe School Community members to others while driving in our parking lot. Our school staff works hard to keep kids safe at all times while on campus — including while entering and exiting school.
Thank you so much for your assistance in ensuring that all families follow these guidelines to keep our students safe.
