INACTIVE - Special Education Records
The Vail School District Special Education Office is in the process of destroying SPECIAL EDUCATION records for students who withdrew, transferred or graduated from high school four or more years ago. We are required to notify parents or students, if they are 18 years or older, to give them an opportunity to review the records before they are destroyed. If you believe that you or your child might have Special Education records and would like to review them, please contact Cindy Cahill at 879-2051 or email at cahillc@vailschooldistrict.org
Otherwise, records are due to be destroyed on July 30, 2022

Some lucky DWE students used their “Diamondbucks” at our school store to play a game of “Pop-It” with our DWE Principal and Assistant to the Principal. These two amazing first graders sure taught our principals a thing or two about pop-it game strategy! I think our principals should stick to principal-ing, and leave the pop-its to the kids!
