Van Bokkelen is in the middle of our November 10-day Attendance Challenge. During this last attendance pep rally, our students with 100% attendance had a great time PIEING the PRINCIPAL and other staff members in the face!!! During our first 5 days of the attendance challenge, our attendance increased by 4.62%!!! How Amazing!! Tomorrow is Day 5 and we're kicking it off with a Pajama Day! Get ready for some fun!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Grateful Gathering on 11/14! Families and staff came together to enjoy games, a Thanksgiving dinner, and meaningful conversations about building strong partnerships between parents, students, staff, and community members.
Let’s keep the momentum going! Join us for our Parents as Leaders (PAL) Meeting on 11/19 at 8:15 AM (right after drop-off) in the Community Room to continue working together for Van Bokkelen’s success.
We can’t wait to see you there!

Due to a PowerSchool issue, some families are having difficulty opening report cards being sent by schools today. Schools have been instructed to stop sending report cards until PowerSchool can rectify the issue. Families who have already received report cards should wait until this evening to attempt to open them.
Thank you, Veterans!
Honoring all who served
