Good evening Viking families!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday! Thank you to our senior parents/guardians who attended the virtual Class of 2025 parent meeting. It was a pleasure hosting an event that afforded you the opportunity to gain more information about our upcoming graduation activities. If you were not able to attend, please reach out to use with any questions you may have.

Just a reminder to our seniors: Be sure to check the senior newsletter for all important information for upcoming graduation activities and requirements. Senior dues ($150) are due by this Thursday. Your last day of school will be on May 16th. You must be in good standing to participate in graduation activities including walking at commencement on May 23rd. Lack of attendance, failed courses, misbehaviors and/or suspensions will be considered in this determination as well. Finish strong! If there is anything we can do to support you finishing strong, please reach out to Ms. DeCorte or Mrs. Scott to set up an appointment to meet. Class of 2025 yard signs will be available for pick up in the Welcome Center on April 25th from 11:30am- 12:30pm.

The junior/senior prom is Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 8-11pm at the American 1 Event Center. Tickets are $40 and will be available for purchase at both lunches this week. Be sure to get your ticket during lunch as the ticket price will increase at the door.

Remember to charge those chromebooks and we will see everyone tomorrow.

Looking Ahead:
