Character Trait- RESPECT
⭐ **Dysenn McCartney – 5th Grade**
Dysenn is a wonderful example of a student who consistently does what is expected of him. He comes into the classroom ready to learn, gets right to work, and is always polite and kind to those around him. His positive attitude and responsibility make him a great role model for others!
⭐ **Calder Cottrill – Kindergarten**
Calder demonstrates respect in so many ways! He listens attentively when others are speaking, patiently waits his turn, and can always be counted on to follow directions the first time. His dependability and respectful attitude make him a wonderful example for his classmates!
We are so proud of Dysenn and Calder for demonstrating outstanding character and representing VEG Elementary so well!
💚🤍 **Way to go, Warriors!** 💚🤍

Congratulations to our September Students of the Month, Lizzie Dunbar and Addie Rolves, recognized by the Gentry County Sheriff's Office! 🚔💚
We are so proud of these students for being positive role models and demonstrating great character both inside and outside the classroom!
A huge thank you to the Gentry County Sheriff's Office for taking the time to recognize and celebrate our students! 💚🤍



The link for V.E.G. Parent Teacher Conferences for Fall is now live on the Albany R-III website.
Please join us on Wednesday, October 14 in the high school commons at 5:30 p.m. to review our current CSIP plan and make changes/updates for our Board of Education to approve. At this meeting we will review our current strengths and identify areas of improvement for the district for the next 3 years. This plan is reviewed by the BOE at our monthly meetings and provides the framework for the decisions we make as a school district.



Things to Note:
-- Your student will bring home a list of important dates (see picture as well) and a checklist of good reminders for senior year.
-- If your student is wanting to go to college or trade school, they need to complete the 2027-2028 FAFSA Form ASAP, before the priority deadline of February 1st to maximize their aid offers. Students can list up to 20 schools on the FAFSA form and the schools will send out estimated cost of attendance and aid offers. Both student and parent need an FSA Id to complete the form.
-- Pay close attention to the deadlines for colleges - deadline for admission, scholarship applications through the school, housing, etc. !
-- Scholarship information will be sent out later this month and paper applications for local scholarships will go home in December.
-- There are lots of great scholarship websites, one in particular is myscholarshipcentral.org which has tons of opportunities for Missouri students. Seniors can see Mrs. Carlock during warrior time today for help getting this set up.
-- Even if your student is unsure if they won't to attend college or trade school, it is a good idea to complete the FAFSA to see what aid they may be offered such as pell grants, which is money that does not have to be paid back!
-- Please see the attached slideshow from NCMC that was presented - https://canva.link/u3i2v1uw2z43r4r
-- The NCMC financial aid department (contacts on the last slide) is willing to help out with anything they can - even if your student is not going to attend NCMC.
-- Reach out to Mrs. Carlock, kcarlock@albany.k12.mo.us or Mrs. Gamble, pgamble@albany.k12.mo.us if you have further questions, we are happy to help!
