Welcome Letter From Mr. V
My name is Mr. Vogl (you may call me Mr. V), and I’m the SLP (Speech-Language Pathologist) at the North Hero and Grand Isle Schools this year.
What does an SLP do in a school? Well, we work with children with all sorts of communication challenges. One part of communication includes making sure your message is understood easily (by producing speech sounds correctly, using appropriate grammar, using correct vocabulary, speaking with friends and teachers in a polite and respectful manner, responding appropriately, ...). Another part of communication includes understanding what is being said to you or what you’re reading (by understanding and interpreting the message correctly, comprehending what you’re reading, being a responsible and respectful listener, being an active part of a conversation, …). We work with teachers, parents, and everyone else in a school to ensure that children are getting the services that they need.
I also do screenings and evaluations, and take an active role in ensuring that no student is left behind their peers.
On a personal level, I live across the lake in Plattsburgh, and spend much of my time being active outside all year, including running, bicycle touring, kayaking, hiking (especially during the winter), and spending time with my wonderful wife and our three children.
I’m excited to be working with and advocating for each of you! Feel free to reach out and say Hi!
