Dear Families,

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is now accepting applications from parents for tutoring microgrants for their children through Governor Glenn Youngkin’s K-12 Learning Acceleration Grants program. Youngkin created the program to help Virginia families address the impact of the pandemic on student learning.

The $30 million program provides $1,500 grants to parents of school-age children for tutoring in English, mathematics, science and history, as well as foreign languages required to meet diploma requirements. Children from homes with family incomes at 300% or less of the federal poverty level may qualify for $3,000 grants. Grants may also be used for support services such as speech language pathology and reading interventions.

The grant program is open to parents of any public, private, parochial or home-school student in grades K-12 residing in Virginia. The first step in the process is to visit VDOE’s K-12 Learning Acceleration Grants page and create an application account for either a $1,500 or $3,000 grant. You do not need to add a school to this application.

For more information, please visit the VDOE’s K-12 Learning Acceleration Grants web page.

It is an honor and privilege to serve as the Superintendent of Buena Vista City Public Schools. I look forward to working with the parents, guardians, students, staff, and community members of this proud city.

As we begin a new school year I am excited that we can focus on what matters the most which is our students and families. While we have faced many challenges during the past year our staff has stayed the course and committed themselves to their students. Education continues to change but the fundamental principles remain the same.

Our theme for the year is “Building the future one family at a time”. We hope to engage our families this year and welcome them into the schools. The pandemic restricted many of events that allowed us to connect with our families, but we believe we can move forward this school year. I look forward to a great year and hope to see you at one of our schools.

“Go Blue!”

Tony Francis, Ed.D.
