What is The VNS snow day policy?
We follow the Farmington Public School recommendations for snow delays and cancellations.
-
If FPS cancels school for the day, VNS will have no school that day.
-
If FPS has an early dismissal, VNS will close at 11:30 a.m.
-
If FPS has a delay (60 mins, 90 mins, or 2-hours), VNS will open at 10:30 a.m. for all classes.
- On delayed openings, dismissal times for the 4s and Pre-K classes remain the same.​
-
Important Note: On delayed openings, the dismissal time for the 3s class will be pushed back to 12:30 p.m.
​
What is The VNS school dismissal procedure?
For the school year 2023-2024, school ends promptly at 11:30 a.m., 1:15 p.m., and 1:00 p.m., and it is extremely important all children are picked up at these precise times. Alternate arrangements with a family member, another VNS parent, or friend must be made if you believe you will not be on time for your child's dismissal. ​

-
New students must complete The State of Connecticut Early Childhood Health Assessment Record before your child can begin classes.
