August Update

We are in full swing here at the VITAL School! As our first month of school comes to an end, we’re proud to see students working hard, submitting coursework, and scheduling their first assessments. By now, your child should be getting comfortable with their online classroom experience. We’re excited to watch their progress as the quarter continues!

Parking Lot Reminder

Since the start of school, several new families have joined us, so we want to kindly remind everyone to please follow the arrows in the parking lot for drop-off and pick-up. You may let students out at the top of the loop, as shown in the picture, but please do not enter the area near the door at the top. This spot can get very congested, and we want to keep all our students, faculty, staff, and visitors safe while coming and going from the building.
 

VITAL School Named National Beta School of Merit

We are proud to announce that VITAL School is a 2024-2025 National Beta School of Merit. The school earned this recognition by offering National Beta to all eligible grades on their campus.
The National Beta School of Merit award is given to honor a club’s dedication and commitment to academic excellence. To achieve this prestigious honor, a school must include members from all eligible grade levels in their Beta club. This year 5,930 Beta Clubs across the country received this award.
In a congratulatory letter to the school, Bobby Hart, CEO said “Thank you for your continued support of National Beta and commitment to developing future leaders!”
With more than 500,000 active members and 14,000 clubs nationally and internationally, National Beta has become the nation’s largest independent, non-profit, educational youth organization. National Beta recognizes outstanding achievement, promotes character and social responsibility, encourages service involvement to school and community, and fosters leadership skills. National Elementary Beta includes grades 4-5, National Junior Beta includes grades 6-8 and National Senior Beta includes grades 9-12
