Principal's Message

Happy Halloween & Día de los Muertos!

As we celebrate this festive season, we honor both the fun and creativity of Halloween and the rich cultural traditions of Día de los Muertos, a time to remember and celebrate loved ones who have passed. 

Parent-Teacher Conferences: November 3rd–14th (Minimum Day Schedule with the school day ending at 12:15pm for TK/K and 12:55pm 1st-5th grade)
Our fall parent-teacher conferences are coming up soon! This is a wonderful opportunity to connect, reflect on your child’s progress, and set goals together. Teachers, parents, and students all play an important role in supporting academic and social growth. When we work as a team, our students thrive! 

To prepare for conferences, we encourage families to:

• Review recent schoolwork or projects together.
• Talk with your child about what they’re most proud of and where they’d like to improve.
• Come ready to share any insights or questions with your child’s teacher.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support in helping our students succeed.

Wishing you all a safe, joyful Halloween and a meaningful Día de los Muertos.

What you need to know: 

 

Caregiver Conference Schedule - EARLY DISMISSAL EVERY DAY!!!

The caregiver conference schedule will be held from 11/3-11/14 (no school 11/11). Teachers have sent out sign-ups so that you can schedule a meeting with your child’s teacher to discuss their progress so far this year. Dismissal schedule is as follows: 

 

TK/K - All students are early friends and will attend 8:05-12:15

1st-5th - All students dismissed at 12:55 every day

 

Viking Cares

We know times are hard for a lot of people right now, but we still have families in our community that could use some help. With the holiday season upon us, we would love to brighten the spirits of some families. You may donate by bringing gift cards to the office (for Safeway, Door Dash, Amazon), bringing cash, or you can Venmo Ms. Tracy (@calormom) and we will help as many families as we can. When we asked in August, we only got one donation, and that has already been distributed to a family. Thank you for your consideration. 

 

Transfer Window for 26-27 School Year Open Until 11/10

The transfer window for grades 1st through 12th is open now through 11/10. If you have a 5th grader, and the middle school you want your child to attend is NOT your home school, you must submit a transfer request by the deadline. 

 

Time Change

Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour this Saturday night. Enjoy that extra hour of sleep (hopefully!). 

 

Halloween Pictures

If you have Halloween pictures from the parade, parties, or stations and you would like them to be considered for the yearbook, please upload them to this drive:

Yearbooks

Hey Vikings! Yearbooks are now available for online ordering.

You do not need to order a yearbook for 5th graders; that’s covered by the 5th-grade fund.

• Order link: https://www.treering.com/purchase?PassCode=1016608390001729
• Price: $35 including tax. 
• If you have not previously placed an order or are new to the school, you will be prompted to create a login and enter your student(s) information
• Please enter your child's name, grade and teacher. This is especially important when distributing yearbooks at the end of the year as they are sorted by grade level and teacher
• On the portal, you can upload school related photos (stations, centers, field trips, etc.) for yearbook consideration. Group photos of kids (pairs, trios, entire class) are preferred.
• Yearbooks sell out every year! Don't miss out!
