All Students (9th and 10th) to Attend August 5th
Because everyone will be new to the building and Vista Ridge, we are asking that both 9th and 10th graders attend school on August 5th. This is a change from the district calendar which has it denoted as only 9th graders. We have several activities and information sessions for students planned.

Engineering Academy Full for 2008-09
Due to its popularity, the Engineering Academy has been closed for the 2008-09 school year. All available seats have been filled. If you are moving into our area and your son/daughter is interested in the program, you may email jspalla@d49.org to be placed on a waiting list in case a student moves out of our school by the fall.

We also have a new Biomedical Academy that still has seats available. This is a brand new program from Project Lead the Way, the same authors of our current Engineering program. Student work in this course involves the study of human medicine, research processes and an introduction to bioinformatics. Students investigate the human body systems and various health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and infectious diseases. Engineering principles including: the design process, feedback loops, fluid dynamics, and the relationship of structure to function are incorporated in the curriculum where appropriate.
