This new law requires parental consent for Medical and Mental Health services for non emergency situations on campus. Please check your emails and log in to School Mint to access and sign these forms.

These are due ASAP as the law will affect how we can service students starting Monday.

Happy Friday,

Vanguard Academy's Dance Teams have kicked off the summer with Dance Camp. The first three days were dedicated to Officers Camp, followed by three days of Line Camp. Their growth in leadership, technique, and performance quality was truly inspiring to witness. The Beethoven, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh dancers trained with dedication, energy, and focus. It was a rewarding experience that not only strengthened their dance abilities, but also their bond as a team. The pictures reflect the energy and spirit our dancers brought to camp. We’re incredibly proud of their commitment and can’t wait to carry this momentum into the upcoming school year.
