Safe Storage Letter

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Public school districts in Michigan are required to provide parents and caregivers with information on the safe storage of firearms. This is in accordance with the “Safe Storage Laws,” MCL 28.429, MCL 380.1313a, and MCL 380.1313b, effective on October 1.  The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has provided the attached information to the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) for distribution via local school districts. 

We are sharing this information on behalf of the MDHHS and MDE as required by law.  School safety, and the safety of our students, is the most important work we do in our school communities.  We appreciate your consideration of this information and the safe storage of firearms. 

Back to School Update

To the students, families, and community of Vestaburg,

The start of a new school year always brings a special kind of energy, and I am incredibly excited to welcome everyone back for what promises to be a remarkable year of learning and growth. I hope you've all had a restful and rejuvenating summer break.

As we embark on this new journey together, our district's theme for the year is "Cross the Line." I'm sure many of you, whether you've played sports or cheered from the sidelines, have heard a coach demand that players "touch the line." It's a call for effort and precision—to not take shortcuts and to go beyond what is expected.  

This year, however, we want to go beyond that. We're challenging ourselves not just to touch the line, but to run right through it and Cross the Line. This is a call to action for all of us—students, teachers, staff, and families—to push past our comfort zones, to exceed expectations, and to achieve things we might not have thought possible. It means embracing new challenges, exploring innovative ideas, and dedicating ourselves to excellence in every aspect of our work as individuals, team members, and a community.

We have an amazing year planned, and I am confident that by working together, we will not only meet our goals but truly Cross the Line in our pursuit of providing the best possible education for every student.  We ARE Vestaburg!!

I look forward to seeing all the great things we will accomplish together.

Warmly,

Brandon Hubbard
