The Viking Week Ahead 9/9 -9/13/2024

Greetings Vikings!

It was a fabulous four days of learning. Our Vikings are settling into the routine and diving deeply into the content. Now that we are in the thick of the year, our administration was able to present student expectations to all grade levels. With schedules set and memorized and athletic contests beginning we were able to touch on those and many other expected norms for situations outside of the classroom. For your reference, the presentation is also linked later in this newsletter. As a reminder, the doors open at 8:15 am. Students should not arrive to school any earlier than 8:00am. We are excited for our first full week! This week teachers nominated an astounding 224 Viking Vouchers over only 4 days of school! That means a LOT of Vikings were caught exhibiting the Viking Values! Way to go Vikings!
