We hope you are thoroughly enjoying your summer and the extra time with your children. Time is passing so quickly and the first day of school is quickly approaching. As you might imagine, getting each school year off the ground is no small endeavor, but we are excited for everyone's return! Every new school year brings with it numerous possibilities and opportunities for growth, not only for our students, but for each of us, and for our school as a whole. We know that by working together and striving toward our common goals, we will make this another incredible school year at Village Gate.
Here are some important dates for the start of the school year:
August 21st - September 1st – Prep Days
August 28th – 31st - Math & Reading Clinic
August 31st - Parent Orientation
August 30th – September 1st - Pre-Conferences
These are very important as they lay the foundation for the year. Please don't forget that your child comes to this conference.

Village Gate is, at its heart, a community of people working together to provide an environment of curiosity, wonder, respect and partnership for our children and for each other. And a community is comprised of the people who make it up. Thank you for being a part of Village Gate’s Community. Your participation and your contributions are important to us and as such we welcome your thoughts, suggestions and ideas.
I look forward to seeing you soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at: (908) 642-5203 or the office at: (760) 815-4818.
