Vikan Knights, ARMOR Up!
From Principal Velez
Dear Community,
We are incredibly proud to announce that Vikan was very well represented at the National History Day in Colorado. Ms. Baran, NHD Sponsor, led Lucy Ratkiewiz, Eve Dalcher, Brayden Williams, Ledford Hyk to qualify to the state competition while Charlie Meza and Callie Jensen made it to the final round.
Vikan had 10 entries: 1 performance - Eve Dalcher (1st place), 1 Group Exhibit - Brayden Williams and Ledford Hyk (1st place), and 8 individual exhibits. After the first round of exhibit judging Callie Jensen, Charlie Meza, and Lucy Ratkiewiz advanced to the final round. Lucy is the one chosen to go to state.
"Hundreds of middle and high school students from northeastern Colorado will participate in UNC History Day as they explore "Turning Points in History." Students will present their research to panels of scholars including faculty members from the University of Northern Colorado. Performances, documentaries, and website presentations are open to the public and attendees may view exhibits at scheduled times. Top entries will advance to the state competition in Denver in late April."
The NHD in Colorado is a social studies and literacy program for elementary, high and middle schools students to equip them with the skills needed to succeed in college. Our Knights participated in project-based learning that emphasizes skills such as critical reading and thinking, research, analysis, and the drawing of meaningful conclusions.
We are beyond proud of the Vikan team for such an incredible participation. Congratulations to Lucy, Eve, Brayden, Ledford, and Ms. Baran for qualifying to state.
Stay strong Vikan...and ARMOR up!

Student Morning Arrival
Please help us out by making sure that your child is at school no later than 8:15 AM. We are having a large number of students arriving after 8:30 AM. If you drop off your child at 8:30, they are already 5-10 minutes late to class. It is imperative that you support your student in making sure that they get to school on time...on time is 8:15 AM.
If your student is arriving after 9:00 AM, you will need to check then in at our mail office.

STUDENT FEES are assessed every school year. If you have not paid your student's fees for the 2023 - 2024 school year please log in to Infinite Campus to make an online payment. If you have not created an account for Infinite Campus, please contact our office and request you access code.
ALL school fees must be paid before the end of the school year. Please keep in mind that fees travel with your student as they move on to high school within our district.

NO Pick Up After 4:15 PM
If you need to pick up your student early from school for an appointment, please make note that you need to arrive prior to 4:15 p.m. Also we will not be calling down your student to be picked up early until the parent or guardian have arrived at our office.
Starting at 4:15 our entire team is getting ready to ensure the safety and security of 600 Kights at dismissal. We cannot spare any aduls to go get students as this poses a safety concern.
