The Vital School offers additional online support days for grades 9-12, with specific days for each grade level.

Grade-Level Onine Days

Just a quick reminder about our weekly Online Supoort Days! If your student has an attendance agreement that includes required online time, logging on on their assigned day is a must. But these days aren't just for required check-ins—they're open to anyone! Whether your student needs extra help with homework, has a quick question for a teacher, or just wants to drop in, we encourage them to hop on. Have them reach out directly to their teachers for meeting times and links!
  • Mondays: 9th Grade
  • Tuesdays: 10th Grade
  • Wednesdays: 11th Grade
  • Thursdays: 12th Grade

Meet The Counselor

We are thrilled to welcome our new school counselor, Summer Sims, to The VITAL School family! Summer is excited to support our students and families with everything from academic planning to personal guidance.

Summer shares this encouraging message with our community: "Growing into who you are takes real courage, so give yourself grace on the tough days and celebrate every step forward—even the small ones. You have unique strengths that no one else brings to the table, and I am always in your corner as you navigate what comes next."

If you have scheduling questions, student concerns, or would like to set up a time to talk, please reach out to her directly at smaurice@pcsstn.com.
