This survey is for parents or guardians of students in our district. Please complete a survey for each child that attends one of our schools. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. It is completely anonymous; survey data is gathered through our partners at Indiana University who will review the results with us. Our teachers and administrators truly care about your feedback and appreciate your time letting us know about your family’s experiences through this survey. Results will help us provide necessary resources and foster the active involvement of families through schools and the community. https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1zRyiCh2dwkRaSO

Happy Soggy Homecoming 2024! The VCSC working with many others has made some changes to Homecoming internally and primarily this impacts our students. The Homecoming Parade will now take place on Friday, October 4, 2024, at 3:45 PM. The Homecoming Court and coronation will take place at Inman Field next Friday, October 4, 2024, as well as we have a home football game next Friday, in addition to the game that is scheduled for tonight. The VCSC will continue with our originally planned Early Release today, September 27, 2024. The VCSC will NOT have Early Release on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, for Professional Development, but we will have Early Release next Friday, October 4, 2024, for internal homecoming activities. As it pertains to Homecoming activities from outside groups, communication will likely need to come from the organizers of these events. We do know that the sock hop scheduled for Adams Coliseum tomorrow is still on as planned. The Distinguished Alumni ceremony will take place at 5:00 PM in Adams Coliseum tomorrow evening. As it pertains to the football game for this evening, this is still on as originally scheduled, but if changes are needed to be made these will be communicated from the athletic department. We realize that this creates some inconveniences for some and especially those who have traveled in from out of town to celebrate and enjoy the fellowship with their former classmates, but with the weather, it was the best option for us internally. We know that Homecoming is one of the most special events that occurs within the Vincennes Community School Corporation and specifically for Lincoln High School. We welcome home all our former alumni, in addition to those who live here in Vincennes that look forward to celebrating their alma mater each year. Hopefully, folks will still enjoy their time with each other this weekend and for us internally that we will have far better weather to work with next Friday. Enjoy Homecoming both today and then again next Friday, October 4, 2024. Go Alices!

To reach more parents, our parent convocation/presentation with Alicia Kozakiewicz is going to occur on Thursday, August 15 at 6 PM in Ader Auditorium inside Lincoln High School. There will NOT be a parent convocation/presentation tonight as originally planned due to the VCSC having several Meet the Teacher Nights. We realize Franklin Elementary has their Meet the Teacher tomorrow night, but if parents desire to do both, we hope they can go to Franklin at the very beginning and then come to Ader. The student convocations/presentations have been powerful and informative, and we hope parents will consider joining us tomorrow night. Thank you! Greg

There will be a Career Fair at Vincennes Lincoln High School Alice Arena on Thursday, April 18, 2024, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. All Vincennes Lincoln and Clark Middle School students will be attending. In addition, the junior and senior students from North Knox, South Knox, and Rivet high schools have been invited to attend. We invite your business organization to come and share career and job skills information with the students. Career fairs are an opportunity for students to learn more about the industries and careers that interest them, to hear directly from our community members who were once in their shoes --- beginning the exciting process of discovering their talents and passions for their future. We also want the students to see how crucial employability skills are in obtaining a job and a successful career. Whether you have an opportunity for students to learn about apprenticeships or work-based learning, have full or part-time jobs available, would like to answer questions students have about your profession, or just want to share your passions and expertise, you can make a difference in the lives of our students in the Vincennes Community School Corporation as well as the juniors and seniors from North Knox, South Knox, and Rivet high schools who are able to attend. We sincerely hope you and your organization will be able to participate. There is no charge to have a table at the event. However, sponsorships are available for those interested and are greatly appreciated. A flyer is attached with more details, or you can directly contact a committee member listed below. You can also register online by using this link: Register Online: Career Fair Presenters (google.com) We hope to see you at the career fair!

Families enjoyed learning together at the Family Game Show with Jeff Veley! Students played fun games to practice conflict resolution skills. It was a great opportunity for families to learn how to help their children respond to aggression and resolve social problems.

Parents and caregivers joined Jeff Veley for a “Laugh and Learn Lunch” and learned how to help their students identify and respond to aggression and resolve social conflicts. It was a great opportunity for parents/guardians to be able to connect what they learned at the lunch to what their children learned at the assembly and have supportive conversations at home.
