A Message From the Principal
Dear Viking Families,
We hope all of our Viking families enjoyed the unusual snowfall here in our area last week. It certainly provided a beautiful change of pace! Since our unscheduled break, we've been working hard to catch up on lessons and activities!
As we get back into the swing of things, please be sure to check Skyward for updates on your student’s attendance and grades. Staying informed is key to ensuring your child’s success this semester.
This week, we are excited to celebrate the Great Kindness Challenge! Be sure to participate in the fun dress-up days—details are below. Let’s spread kindness and positivity throughout our school community!
Thank you for your continued support. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead!
Warm regards,
Your Viking Family
