Carrots, Broccoli, and Clementines, Oh My!


Prince William County Public Schools is pleased to offer the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) at Vaughan Elementary School during the upcoming school year. The FFVP is entirely funded by a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture and is administered by the Virginia Department of Education. 

All students will be offered fresh fruits and vegetables at no charge during a morning or afternoon snack period at least three times each week during the school day. We plan on offering a variety of items to the students, including carrots, broccoli, clementines, tomatoes, kiwi, melons, and many exotic and unique fruits and vegetables!  

This is a wonderful opportunity for your children to receive a nutritious snack while enjoying a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. 

Please contact Ms. Pacey, Cafeteria Manager, if you have any questions.
Dismissal Procedures

Dismissal begins at 3:40 PM

Students dismissed first are the walkers, SACC and students that are car riders.

Car rider students are to report to the library. We ask that cars picking up students display their number in the driver's side window.  As well, we ask that you be mindful of the amount of space being left between cars when sitting in the pick up lane. We are trying not to block the entrance to the back driveway and York Drive.  Please yield to the pedestrians who are crossing the driveway and stop at the stop sign prior to the bus lane.  The bus lane must be kept clear so that buses can pull in off York Drive.

Please alert us of changes in your child's dismissal plans.  For example, someone is picking the child up early.   Early pickups should be brought to the attention of the teacher and the front office.  Early Dismissals MUST be signed out.   After 3:10 PM all parents picking up must wait at the back of the school in the car rider lane until  dismissal with the exception of an emergency and/or prior notification.

Day Care Vans ONLY will pick up/drop off in the front of the school. 

Walkers may be picked up at door 20. 

Bicycles are NOT allowed at school.  We have no way of insuring the safety of the bike itself or the rider.
