A Message From the Principal
Viking Family,
Welcome to Term 2! Students will be getting their Term 2 schedules when they arrive at school on Monday. Students will report to the cafeteria and be given instructions from there.
This Friday is PSAT testing for 9th, 10th, and 11th graders. Our 12th grade students will be doing rotations where we will focus on graduation requirements.
Please review the student expectation and contract reminders!
Have a great week Vikings!
