Join the superintendent on a tour!
Have you been in a Vancouver school lately? If you’re a parent, probably. If you’re a community member without kids in school, possibly. But we bet you haven’t seen all of them.
Our tours are open to parents, community members and anyone who is interested in learning how the district’s strategic plan shapes everyday learning.
The best way to get to know Vancouver schools is to see them in action. Join the superintendent on a Visit VPS tour. Typically two different schools are featured. Tours are scheduled three times per year.
