Good Morning Staff and Families,
This is Superintendent Hoskins from Vallecito Union School District. After inspecting conditions on the road and school sites this morning we have decided to call a snow day for Thursday, March 13th. In accordance with our inclement weather protocol school is cancelled for all three schools, Hazel Fischer, Avery Middle School and Michelson Elementary. The decision to cancel school today was based on multiple factors and ensuring safe access to, from and while at school for both students and staff remains our top priority. The make up day for today’s cancellation of school will be Monday, April 14th, which is a built in Inclement weather day. Stay warm and safe today.

Mad Scientist Events Surpasses Expectations
The Vallecito Union School District recently hosted two “Mad Science Nights,” bringing students and their families together for an engaging evening of hands-on science.
The first event took place at Albert Michelson Elementary on Oct. 9, where 192 people,
including students and their families, gathered to explore a variety of interactive science
stations. A second science night followed at Hazel Fischer Elementary, drawing 148
attendees, eager to participate in the night’s experiments and activities. Feedback provided through survey responses showed families were highly engaged in the learning stations and there was an overwhelming request to offer more similar family events in the future. Based on survey input, VUSD is looking to host family art night events in the spring.
