This note should state 1) reason for withdrawal, 2) the last day the student will be in attendance at VCS, and 3) the name and address of the school the student plans to attend. VCS will then forward records to the new school. It is the student's responsibility to return all books and school-owned materials prior to his/her last day of school. Families will be billed for lost/missing or damaged items.
