The VIKING Week Ahead 4/8-4/12

Greetings Vikings,

It was wonderful to see a great full week of learning with our students as we welcomed our Vikings back. Report cards should be to your home by now. If they are delayed by the mail, please contact our office for assistance. They are also available in parent connect 24 hours a day. Next week provides us with excitement with the solar eclipse. Please remind your students not to look directly into the sun during the event, as it can cause serious eye damage. The first half of the event our students will be learning, but the apex is scheduled just as we are dismissing. We will remind our students to always practice safety first! See the district message regarding it here: https://superintendent.dearbornschools.org/2024/04/03/solar-eclipse-is-coming-on-april-8/
