Last year, the Vista Grande Sock Hop was on the chopping block. But a group of vocal 4th graders rallied their peers and wrote persuasive letters to myself and the VG PTA board in hopes to continue the tradition. As you can see from the poodle skirts,  leather jackets, and Pink Ladies, they succeeded.

 

While Vista Grande is rich in tradition, our forward thinking staff members,  aren’t afraid to try new things in order to provide meaningful learning experiences for VG students.  As Dr. Miyashiro and AP Bartley visited our classrooms, they observed everything from 5 year olds creating digital portfolios to 5th graders collaborating with classmates to build popsicle bridges. Additionally,  we have a supportive parent community, ready to roll up their sleeves to paint with students, organize school events and participate in decision making committees.

 

CVUSD, listen up! Our Vista Grande students have a lot to say about their learning.
