Vikan Knights, ARMOR Up!
From Principal Velez
Dear Community,
We are super excited to share with you the results of the 2023 School Performance Framework (SPF). For those of you who are not familiar with the SPF, it is basically the school's report card from the State of Colorado based on CMAS results.
I am thrilled to share with you that Vikan has seen a substantial increase (10.2 points) in its overall performance. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, staff and the support we receive from our school community.
While there is still a lot of work to do, I am confident that we are on the right path. For now, I'd like to CELEBRATE this accomplishment and thank you for your continued support.
Stay strong Vikan...and ARMOR up!
Principal Velez

Pick Up Reminders
Vikan values learning and instructional time. In order to maximize student learning, please be aware that we will not be calling students down for pick up until the parent/legal guardian is in the office. Please arrive with plenty of time to allow us time to call them down to the office for pick up (process can take up to 15 minutes from the moment you arrive).
If you are picking up your child at the end of the school day, please do so before 4:15 p.m. to give us plenty of time to get them from their classes. We are not able to call students after 4:15 because the bell would ring before we are able to get to them. Students might be in PE, working on a science project, or finishing up an assignment. Getting ready to leave takes time.
We appreciate your cooperation and support.
