As a result of the recent increase in COVID cases in Jackson Co. and the impact it is having on our students and staff, Vandercook Lake Public Schools will be fully remote the week of April 5-9. Specific school, meal and athletics information will be relayed in the near future.

Students in Mrs. Jones’ class celebrated the end of Reading Month with tents, “campfires”, s’mores and hotdogs! So much fun!
