| Welcome to V-Flash |
Dear Village School Community:
Welcome to the inaugural edition of the weekly Village electronic newsletter, The Village News Flash (or V-Flash). The purpose of The V-Flash is two-fold. First, by consolidating into a single, weekly communication all of our announcements and reminders, we hope to reduce the volume of email communications you ordinarily receive from The Village School. Second, the electronic newsletter will help us communicate pertinent information about school life and programming more efficiently and consistently. We will send out two editions of the V-Flash, one for the Lower School and one for the Middle School. Please look forward to receiving the V-Flash every Friday afternoon, and very rarely on other days of the week.
If you are an organizer of a Village School activity, and hope to share important information with the community in the V-Flash, all submissions must be made to Sharon Gregory or Kristi Reigle in the front office by 5:00 PM on Wednesdays. Please submit your announcements in Microsoft Word, Times New Roman, font size 12.
Sincerely,
Jonathan L. Silver, PhD

| BOB the BUILDER |

Although it may not appear so, work on the new high school has in fact begun. I hope most of you have had a chance to at least see the design of the new school. For those of you who have not, there are drawings showing the exterior elevation set up in the front lobby and library entrance.
Permits have been submitted to the City for review. We are actively monitoring any requests for modifications and submitting responses. Construction mobilization has begun and this means we'll soon see construction trailers, fencing, site lighting, etc. showing up on site.
Many other changes will also be occurring as we begin building. I would like to thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility as we move forward together.
Please feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions or concerns.
