From Principal Velez
The American Heart Association states that "these days, we eat more food away from home compared to generations before us. Eating together with your family for about 20 minutes only three to five times a week is all it takes to enjoy many benefits of family mealtime." They also provide the following tips to increase your time together as a family:

ACCESS Testing
Next week we will begin ACCESS testing at Vikan. This test is ONLY for students that are non-english proficient or have a limited english proficiency. The test is not administered to all students. ACCESS is a computer-based, adaptive test that responds to student performance. This assessment is given annually to students in Grades 1-12 and tests students' language in four domains: Listening, Reading, Speaking, Writing. Students will start with Listening and Reading tests next week.
