Vikan Knights, ARMOR Up!
From Principal Velez
Dear Community,
The time has come for you to support Vikan by completing the Fall 2023 Parent/Guardian Climate & Culture survey. I would like to apologize in advance for the many emails you will be getting from me in the next few weeks asking you to complete this. Our goal is to get to 50% of parents/legal guardians completing this form. I promise you, it will only take a few minutes.
The outcomes of this survey will help us improve our practice here at Vikan. We will analyze the results and act accordingly.
PLEASE take a minute to complete THIS survey. We appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong Vikan...and ARMOR up!
Principal Velez
Fall Conferences Are Here!
Please click on the link below to schedule an appointment with your child's Advisor to discuss your child's progress. We have virtual and in-person options. You will only need to meet with ONE teacher. Ask your student who their advisor is or ask them who is their first period teacher.
We are looking forward to seeing you next week.
THANK YOU!!
Our school will receive just under $200.00. Without your support we have not been able to do it.
Also thank you for all of the community support for our football team during the championship game against Quist Middle School. Although we did not bring the championship home, our Knights played their hearts out.
Weather
As the weather changes and gets colder, we want to let you know that students will have an inside day if the temperature is below 20 degrees. Please make sure that your student is properly dressed for the weather and please remind them to bring a jacket/coat with them.

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 your student is arrive to school after 9:00 am, a parent/guardian must accompany the student to the office to check in.
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.
