The VCP Student and Family Handbook is an important resource for the community that outlines policies, procedures, and guidelines for academics, behavior and discipline, general operations, athletics and extracurricular program, and more.
All VCP families are required to acknowledge their receipt and review of the handbook when attending Back to School Nights. As such, families are strongly encouraged to review the contents of the handbook before their designated Back to School Night visit.
