Out of an abundance of caution, Village Meadows activated a “Shelter in Place” order due to a report of a suspicious person on campus. The Sierra Vista Police Department has been called and will be on campus for assistance. “Shelter in Place” means that teaching continues but students are kept in their classroom and not in hallways or outside. During “Shelter in Place” visitation to the school is closed to everyone but school officials and law enforcement to ensure student safety. Student and staff safety are our number one priority and the “Shelter in Place” order will be lifted as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.

The safety of our students is of paramount importance, and we are taking these precautions to ensure their well-being. During delayed dismissal all students who ride the bus or walk home will be kept in the school until the lightning has passed. Parents are welcome to pick up their students by coming to the office to sign them out. Please bring a photo ID with you to the office. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these weather-related delays. Your child's safety is our top priority, and we are committed to making informed decisions that ensure their well-being. Thank you for your consideration and support. Sincerely, Principal Wambach

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Bullying can impact a student’s education, physical, emotional health, and their safety and well-being. Together we can create communities that are kinder, more inclusive and accepting for all students.
