The Viking Week Ahead 1/20 – 1/24/2025

Greetings Vikings,

The first FULL week of 2025 is completed. Schedules and routines are firmly in place, and student learning is observably surging. Excited to keep this positive momentum going into next week. As a reminder, our first day back next week is a Tuesday, which makes it an early release day.

A few reminders outside of the building:

-Snow is to remain on the ground. We are noticing an increase in students throwing snow. This will lead to disciplinary action.

-The curb lane is a drop off lane. Pull to the end and let your student out. No parking or standing. Temporary drop off only. AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE is on the South Side of the school on Notre Dame street. The only thing to avoid on that side is the bus lane, however temporary drop off is permitted.
