However, you can indicate if you are a current VIP at another school and the date of your TB test on the online application. Contact Karina Vasquez at the Rogers Front Office at kvasquez@lbschools.net, visit the Rogers PTA and LBUSD VIPS Info page or go to the application page to begin the process: VIPs Application
