Master Agreements


You will be receiving your Visions master agreements via email sometime this week. Please make sure to sign them, and have your student(s) sign them, as soon as possible, to ensure your enrollment in Visions for next year.

If you have any questions about master agreements or course assignments, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you!

Ordering Notes


I know many of you are scrambling to use up your school funds by the May 1st deadline. However, I am getting a LOT of orders that I have to reject because they don't adhere to the Visions' Matrix.

I know it can be confusing to know what will be approved or rejected, and I have a strong belief that many unlisted items deserve approval. Please know that I spend hours going over orders, researching each item, trying to advocate for you. I will always go to bat for you if I can justify items as educational, or supporting the standards.

But please, refer to the matrix when ordering so you don't order things that are listed as "not approved".

Typical items that I am seeing orders for that are "not approved":

  • PE clothing
  • Games that are considered recreational rather than educational
  • Furniture items
  • Office equipment
  • Storage containers/bins
  • Stamps
  • Toys
  • Personal items
  • Sports equipment that goes over the $100 per year limit
  • Musical instruments that go over the $100 per year limit
  • Bulk quantities
  • Gardening Tools

Thanks!


LP 10 Meeting Plans




LP10 only has 13 days. 13 days is not enough to hold regularly scheduled meetings for everyone. Typically, we have had park days and group meetings to handle that. With the Covid-19 restrictions, park days and group meetings are not possible this year.

You have a choice in how you would like to conduct your LP10 meeting. Since I only need your report card grades, your attendance, your approved semester plan, and to check in with you on your plans for next year, we can either:

Schedule a "regular" virtual meeting (approx. 1hr per student for sharing work and conducting business)

or

Schedule a 15-minute check-in, with parents only, to make sure all of our compliance requirements are satisfied.

Which would you like to do?

Please submit your answer on this form as soon as possible so that I can schedule our LP10 meeting.

Thank you!
