Good morning Van Families,
Don't forget to send in your t-shirt forms by tomorrow. The t-shirts will be color coded by grade, and no grade is green- we are trying to get everyone in their grade level color shirt 😎
STEAM night is coming fast!!! We can't wait to see you all there.



Dear Van Corlaer Families,
At approximately 9:10 AM, Van Corlaer briefly went into a hold-in-place while assisting a student. The situation was quickly resolved, everyone is well, and we have returned to our normal learning routine.
If you have any question please reach out.
Thank you for your support.

We wish you a blessed Eid filled with happiness, peace, and prosperity.
