Dear Wonderful A+ Acacia Families,

As the month of February begins, I am reflecting about how special our Acacia community really is. When I give tours to prospective students and families, I tell them, we have the best students, staff, and community in the district. This can be felt in our hallways, classrooms, recess fields, and any school event.  We often talk about "community" in schools, but this past month, I really saw it in action. Whether it was a student helping a peer with a tough math problem, a parent-teacher chat that felt more like a partnership, or simply the laughter during recess, those connections are the secret sauce of a thriving school. I truly feel so fortunate to work alongside you each and every day. 

Vail School District- Parent Survey 
In line with VUSD’s mission to “provide parents with safe and nurturing school communities where their children can obtain a quality education,” please tell us how we’re doing by completing the short survey below. It only takes about 2–4 minutes.

Spring Parent Teacher Conferences: February 5 and February 6
Students will be dismissed at 11:30am.
We value our partnership with our families, and Parent Teacher Conferences is a great way to continue that partnership. The last day to sign-up will be on Tuesday, February 3rd, at 4pm.

Looking Ahead: Vail Pride Day
In the month of February, we take the time to intentionally celebrate these bonds. On February 14th, we invite you to join us for Vail Pride Day at the Pima County Fair Grounds. Get ready for a day like no other! Catch the Acacia Cheerleaders in the parade and during their live performance, plus enjoy incredible music from our band and choir. We’ll also have special artwork on display by all our Acacia Cowboys.

We have so many fun events and experiences, please see the flyer for more details. 

Thank you for being such an integral part of our school community. I appreciate your partnership and support.
