We have received a lot of requests for students to sign out early for different reasons. VHS does not sign students out early. Students who don't have finals on Tuesday and Wednesday will sign out of all classes, pay all dues/fines, check in lockers/locks, etc on Monday, May 16 beginning with Juniors at 2:45, sophomores and Freshman to follow. If you will not be here on that day you will need to sign out Tuesday, May 17. All those who have finals will need to sign out once they have finished with all finals they are required to take.
