Students walking into Viking Village on the first day of school

Welcome to a new school year filled with opportunities to learn and engage!  We are looking forward to seeing you and your student back at school.

Staggered Back-to-School Information: 

August 15th is the First Day for students in Grades 1-5, Grades 6, 9, and all newly enrolled students

August 16th is the Students’ First Day for Grades 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 

August 17th is the first day of school for preschool and kindergarten students. 


Let’s work together to make the most of the school year by helping students to show up and participate every day possible. Getting back into the habit of daily attendance matters more than ever. 

Going to school regularly is an opportunity for your student to:

  • Build routines created at home or in school that help reduce stress. 

  • Connect to their friends, teachers, or other school staff.  

  • Access resources such as healthy meals, physical and mental health services, and fun enrichment activities, including sports, clubs, music, arts, and after-school programs.  

  • Engage in learning that builds proficiency in reading and math that will help them to graduate from high school.  

Please reach out if there is anything we can do to support you and your child.
