Principal’s Message

August 1, 2022

Dear Families,

Welcome to Aspire Vanguard College Preparatory Academy! As a charter school, we are a school of choice, and we are honored by your choice to join our community. In the past few years, we have witnessed the incredible resilience and dedication of Vanguard
students, families, and staff as we navigated our way through the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, we are excited to be returning to a sense of normalcy. This new normal will allow us to continue to unite around and live out our schoolwide learner outcomes of being cultivators of
joy, builders of belonging, masters of resilience, champions for equity, and strivers toward excellence.

Please refer to our handbook linked below which will introduce you to the values, practices and policies that help to ensure Vanguard is a safe, thriving community where every stakeholder has a sense of belonging and an opportunity to grow. We welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions. You can share your feedback by calling our office: (209) 521-3010.

Once again, thank you for choosing Vanguard. We are looking forward to partnering with you this school year and achieving great things together.

Sincerely,
Angie Saldana, Principal
