A Message From the Principal
Viking Family,
Our first set of progress reports have gone out! Please make sure you are checking Skyward and checking your students grades and attendance as part of our contract commitments. Contact your child's teacher if you have questions or need help with anything class related! Please don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything! Remember that we ofter tutorials in the morning (schedule pictured below) and after school. For after school, please schedule with the appropriate teacher. We are here as your support, but need to know what your child needs in order to help.
We appreciate you choosing Vistas High School Program and thank you for being a part of Team Vistas!
