Whether it's early morning field trips, daily inner-district transports, or late evening games, in all kinds of weather, Vanguard Academy's school bus drivers safely transport our students to the assigned destination. They’re responsible people who enjoy their role as mentors and look forward to the small daily interactions: a smile, a high five, a compliment or hug that can transform a student’s day and set the tone for learning. Give a warm thank you to your campus bus drivers!

At the end of a busy school day, students are ready to relax, have fun and just be themselves. Thanks to afterschool professionals, they get to do just that in a safe, nurturing environment. Vanguard Academy is celebrating Afterschool Professionals to recognize the afterschool professionals across our district who teach, play and guide students through our ACE programs. We appreciate the hard work Dr. Longoria and her team render each day--rain or shine--to support our students and families with a quality afterschool program.
“Our afterschool professionals play a vital role in our ACE program,” says Mrs. Morales, Vanguard Academy Executive Director of Institutional Advancement and Communication. “They help each child feel safe and nurtured while maintaining a schedule that includes homework time, games, snacks and more.”


Throughout the month of April, Vanguard Academy focuses on providing opportunities to increase understanding and support of the autism community. Let's continue the spirit this week by dressing up during Autism Awareness Week at Vanguard Academy!
