CHROMEBOOK Help!
If your student is having technology issues please have them submit a ticket through their GRADE LEVEL google classroom. Once we are aware of the issue a VIKAN staff member will be in contact with your student regarding the next steps which may include you having to stop by VIKAN for troubleshooting or to exchange your student’s Chromebook.

CMAS State Testing
Fully remote students/families have been surveyed about their interest to help us create the safest schedule for entering the building. Details on the plan have been sent out along with an FAQ document. Be expecting a phone call within the next week if you did not complete the survey. Reach out to our Assistant Principal, Dr. Landry at clandry@sd27j.net if you have questions or concerns.
Face to face learning students will be testing during school hours on their synchronous days during the month of April.
More information to follow as we approach testing dates.

Anti-Bullying Information
At Vikan we have been working with students and teachers on an Anti-Bullying campaign. In our first month we discovered and practiced the differences between Rude, Mean, and Bullying. Below are the working definitions of each of the terms we will be using at Vikan Middle School. Please review and discuss with your student.
In February, we will be talking about the differences between snitching & reporting, what to do if being bullied, what to do if you witness bullying and how to report.
Thank you for your support!
