The Villa of Hope School will be celebrating our seniors during the month of June. Our staff have “adopted” a senior and will shower them with special thoughts and treats. The Senior Picnic is scheduled for June 11, 2020; our seniors will receive their cap and gown.

Graduation Day is June 25, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. We will honor our Class of 2020 seniors in a bus loop graduation ceremony. Mrs. Ward and many staff will be present to confer the diplomas using the preventative measures to ensure a healthy and safe graduation. We will be social distancing and wearing masks, but know that this will be a special memory for our seniors to take with them as they begin this new journey.

Congratulations Seniors!

The Governor last week presented an executive order keeping school closed through the summer months. He will be making a decision regarding the re-opening of school for the fall over the next few weeks. Meanwhile, the Villa of Hope School will be scheduling our students for summer classes that will include content area courses; Summer WBL programs in Human Ecology, Horticulture, and Technology; along with some new and special area elective courses. These classes will be presented via Zoom and Microsoft Teams.

We are so proud of our students, thank you to our families for your support!

Thank you to our staff, they have done amazing things to keep our students connected and supported during these difficult times.

Our students are doing a terrific job logging into their Zoom/Microsoft Teams Classrooms each day. We continue to support our students the PBIS way.

Distance Learning has changed the way school looks and sounds…but we are connecting and supporting our students and families using the fundamentals of PBIS. We are so proud of our students and thank our families for their support.

Due to the COVID 19 Pandemic the Governor of NYS has ordered all schools to remain closed for the remainder of the school year. We will continue to stay connected and support our students and families through Distance/Remote learning.

The Governor will make a decision by the end of the month regarding our Summer ESY program.

Our hearts go out to our Senior Class, Class of 2020. We believe in the power of social distancing and keeping each other healthy and safe, and will do our best to provide a celebration for our seniors and their families as soon as we are able.

Stay healthy and safe!
