Every school year starts with the same belief: every Vermont student can succeed.
In her welcome message, Secretary of Education Zoie Saunders shares how the Agency is supporting schools this year, and asks families to do three simple things: stay connected to what your child is learning each week, make time for daily reading, and pay attention to beginning-of-year screeners. Those early check-ins can tell you a lot about what your child is ready to learn next.
Wishing all of Vermont's students, educators, school staff, families, and communities a safe, joyful, and inspiring school year.
