Important Note: To provide our VUSD community with a much better website experience, the VUSD Communications team has been working in the background this past year on implementing all new school and district websites. The team will be working on several issues that will result in intermittent and complete outages of the K-12 school websites and the District website from April 4-17, 2022. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our new websites will be coming soon, and we will share more information with you on the launch date after Spring Break.
