The Viking Week Ahead

Greetings Vikings!

Week Ahead 5/15 -5/19

Teachers:

It’s hard to believe that the last full week of May is upon us!  Progress reports were inputted this week, and should be viewable in Parent Connect by the end of the week.  

Your student’s course selections will be finalized on Monday.  Please talk with them about what they chose for next year.  You can view what they chose in Parent Connect.

It was an exciting week of recognizing our teachers’ investment in our students as well as welcoming our newest Vikings to the building.  Thank you to all of you who contributed these efforts, with either donations to the PTSA or your time.  We appreciate you!
