How is VT communicating with parents?
Teachers should be reaching out to parents and students, and you are always free to email them with any questions you may have. Any campus-wide information is being sent through email. If you think you are not receiving these emails, please double-check your spam folder and make sure your email and contact information is correct in Skyward. Emails are sent through that system, to all parents/guardians. Additionally, updates are posted here on our website, on our Facebook page, and our Twitter.
What are the Education Rights & Responsibilities during COVID?
My child is on the waitlist. What should I do?
You can log in to LotterEase and continue to check your child’s waitlist status or you can wait for an automatic communication. When there is significant movement up or down the waitlist, an email will be generated to alert you. Once you are in waitlist position 1-5 an automated notice is generated with every move. Please check your junk mail to make sure you are receiving the alerts.
The status in LotterEase says “Being Reviewed by District”. What does this mean?
This means that your child’s information is being processed. There is nothing you need to do.
We live with a grandparent/aunt/family member and the utility bills are in their name. How do I give proof of residency for my child?
Visit the front office and fill out a Village Tech Dual Residency Affidavit. Please bring a utility bill and come with the person whose name is on the utility bill. That person will also need to bring their driver’s license (or picture ID with address). We typically have a notary on campus who can notarize the form.
