Here’s What’s New Vikings
ID Card Printing and Fingerprint Enrollment
In the interest of safety and security, all students, faculty, and staff members are required to have their ID cards on their person at all times while on campus. This week, replacement ID cards will be available for printing at the school cafeteria during breakfast, wiki and lunch. You can choose to print a previous ID or take a new photo. This week, replacement ID cards are free, but after this week, replacement IDs will be one dollar.
Also, a new feature of our Identification System is Biometric Fingerprinting. When eating lunch, we highly encourage students to have their ID ready for scanning, that way, the line can move along fast. Another option is to simply use your finger! If you have not yet enrolled in this quick and easy process, you can do so at the ID station in the cafeteria. If you are already enrolled, you can use your fingerprint for lunch service!
Chromebook Distribution (8/6-8/8/25)
Chromebook distribution starts today in Room C-215 and will run through Friday, August 8th. Freshmen will be brought in during their English classes. New and returning students in grades 10–12 can come in during recess, lunch, or after school. To pick up your Chromebook, you must have a signed 1-to-1 form and no outstanding obligations. If you need a form, stop by C-215 to grab one. If you have any questions, see a tech in C-117.
