Welcome Back!
Dear VLUS Community,

Sending you warm summer greetings from Barbara Boyle (former Graham & Parks Principal) and Barry McNulty (former Graham & Parks Assistant Principal). We are very happy to be joining the VLUS students, families and staff as the Interim Administration for the 2015-16 school year.

Barry and I will work closely with Assistant Principal, Tanya Benzan and the entire staff to insure a smooth opening and a productive school year.

It is important to us that school be an orderly, safe space where high quality teaching and learning is available to every student. We intend to work with the VLUS community and the Tobin Montessori School to create a building with shared respect and student accountability.

The whole school team is looking forward to meeting our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students and families at the VLUS Backyard Barbecue on Wednesday, September 2 at 5PM.

Until then enjoy these beautiful warm summer days!

Sincerely,

Barbara Boyle & Barry McNulty



Summer Reading...Did you reach the moon yet?
It's not too late to complete your summer reading challenge. Read 20 minutes per day to help reach the goal of half a million minutes of reading per grade level! If minutes = miles, we'll read to the moon and back this summer! Remember to keep track of your minutes and books on your summer reading log. Learn more >>

The School Committee invites and welcomes community involvement and engagement, and is offering a number of ways in which Cambridge Public Schools stakeholders can have an important voice in the Superintendent of Schools search and selection process, including an online survey, a community-based Superintendent Search Interview Committee, focus groups, community forums, and more.
