ALEKS Math Subscription Discount for VV Students Third Grade and Up
We will be lucky enough to again offer discounted ALEKS Math subscriptions for at-home, independent study use only, for our VV families grades 3 and up. Since the extended-length, 46 week subscriptions, which allowed students to continue using ALEKS throughout Summer Break, worked well, we shall stick with that subscription duration.
This program is entirely optional, not endorsed by Vista Verde, but made available due to continued parent requests. Please see the attached, fill-in-able order form for more information.
There will be a strict order deadline of FRIDAY, JULY 27, 2018. No orders will be accepted after that date. Orders need to be turned into to the VV Front Office, NOT to the child’s teacher, Friday folder, Homework folder, etc. For more information, please contact valerieschiano@iusd.org.

Volunteers Registration
Our wonderful Vista Verde volunteers, if you plan to volunteer again this year in Vista Verde, you need to register in the Raptor system. If you miss the link in the parent portal when you confirm your data, here is the instructions: https://iusd.org/parents/parent-involvement/volunteers
After you complete the online application, you need to present a valid state issued ID (i.e. driver’s license) at the front office to have it scanned to complete the process.
