ClassDojo Communication System

We would like to connect with all parents using ClassDojo. This is a quick messaging system that you can get through an app. There are several teachers that use ClassDojo as part of the classroom culture, but you can still be connected to the school directory through joining the STEAM Lab grade level groups.

Foundation

The Vista Grande Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization.

It is made up of parents, staff, local community members, and sponsors. Our goal is to raise the funds to support educational programs such as science, art, music, and technology. In addition to educational programs, the Foundation also provides communication folders and planners, events, and funding for Vista Grande teachers.

Foundation meetings occur every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom.

Meetings are open to all parents and caregivers, not just Foundation members.

The Foundation’s main platform for communicating news, events, volunteer opportunities and Spirit Wear sales is Konstella. Join today on your mobile device or desktop computer – www.konstella.com/cd/DBQIBW. Questions? Email us at VistaGrandeFoundation@gmail.com.
