We’re pleased to announce the Vail Senior Internship Program. This fantastic year-long program gives students the chance to be an intern in the career areas of their choice to learn more about the field, earn hours for a Senior Exit Project as well as providing excellent experience to put on a resume for both employment and college. VDLP students also have the added advantage of a flexible schedule that is appealing some employers that are looking for interns.

To learn more about this program, please visit our webpage: http://vdlp.vail.k12.az.us/internships.

Our testing lab at VAHS will be open from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm on the following days over our holiday break:

• Thursday December 27th
• Thursday January 3rd

In case of an emergency, testing may be available by APPOINTMENT ONLY on Weds December 26th and Weds January 2nd. In all cases, please be sure that you 1) have been approved by your teacher to take your Cumulative Exam and 2) contacted Laurie Ferrell at 879-1908 to schedule your testing time before coming in to test.

Over the break, our teachers will not be “working” on the following dates so that they can spend some well-deserved time with their families:

• Monday December 24th
• Tuesday December 25th
• Monday December 31st
• Tuesday January 1st

On these dates, our teachers will not be responsible for logging into the system, completing Reviews, granting Retakes or checking email. Students will be able to log in and work every day of the next two weeks. However they should anticipate possible delays.

Happy Holidays to you and your family!!
