August Vikings of the Month!
"D'Shawn has come back to school with motivation to keep working despite his academic challenges. He is painfully shy and has been hesitant to ask for help but has started the year by utilizing his resources and people."
"Violet actively participates in class and is always kind and helpful to her peers."
Thank you D'Shawn and Violet for being examples of what a Viking represents!

Weather Delays - Please make sure that the school has your current phone number so that you will receive calls and text messages about school delays and closures.
Updates to Student Handbook - Please check the Jr/Sr High Student Handbook for all of the updates but I wanted to highlight a few before school begins.
- Students must be in attendance by 8:15 am to attend and/or participate in extracurricular practices, games and/or contests that day.
- If a student misses school on Friday, he or she must produce a note verified by the doctor in order to participate in any/all school activities the following day (Saturday).
- Good Standing - students who are not in good standing will not be allowed to participate in field trips, college visits, school dances, etc. See page14 for details.
- Cell phones - Junior high students are to leave them in their lockers but high schools students may carry them throughout the day. They are not to be visible in class unless approved by the classroom teacher.
Sick Child at School - If your child gets sick or feels sick at school, please remind them that the protocol is to report to the nurse in the office first. She will document symptoms and then inform parents when their child needs to go home. It is important that we are consistent and following protocols. Thank you for your assistance with this.
