Greetings Vikings,
Here we are, entering the last week of January 2024! Already a month into the new school year! Let’s hope weather cooperates with us to get back to the learning!
Semester 1 Report Cards have been mailed. Look for them early next week in your mailbox. Remember, you can always see them right now in Parent Connect. This is a great conversation starter to have with your student. Good starters include, “How did you do in reaching your academic goals first semester?” and “What would you like to work on to finish the year strong?”
We are less than a month away from deciding whether or not to continue the level of funding we currently have. 16% of the budget is part of the ballot on February 27th, make sure you are informed and make your voices heard!
