Elementary Report Card dates for the 2013 school year

·        Trimester 1 December 3^rd

·        Trimester 2 March 18^th

·        Trimester 3 June 19^th

Remember these dates could change according to changes in the district elementary calendars. Example: a snow day.

Teachers are able to enter report card grades at any time during the trimester. Students will be added and removed from the report card list in each competency as students enroll and withdraw, so the teachers will need to pay close attention making sure that each student active is given marks in each competency.

Bus Drills (1st of the Year)

Bus drivers will be conducting the drills as they arrive in the AM to drop students off at school. As this is the first time the drivers are conducting an exit drill with student practicing the exit process, there may be some impact with the beginning of school; however, we hope it will be minimal. It would be greatly appreciated if you could have some of your staff outside to support and assist our drivers with any problems they may encounter due to the change in the exit drill procedure.

Night Conferences

Our wonderful PTA has offered to provide a light meal during our evening conferences.  More details to follow.

Conference Schedules

Please make sure that we have a copy of your conference schedules in the office prior to your conferences so we can answer parent’s questions when they forget the time of their meeting.

Viking Store Hours   

We continue to have students coming throughout the day to shop with their Viking Victory.  Please adhere to the store hours as it puts a negative spin on a positive event when they come and have to be sent away without a prize.

Store Hours:     8:30 to 8:45  Lunch/Lunch Recess 11:30 – 1:00  3:16 – 3:30

Kindergarten students may be sent at the end of their session.
