September 2020 Viking Vitals
https://5il.co/kz4t
What an amazing, frustrating, scary, exhausting first week of school. The students were AMAZING at adapting to all of the new things. It doesn't mean they like it, but they know that they want to be back in school (even if they don't admit it). It was so good to have so many students back this week.
If you see a staff member this weekend, give them a big thank you. We are executing a game plan that there is no playbook for. Even through all of our anxiety and frustrations, we love our kids. We do it for them.
We are making a change to the first lunch schedule next week, there will be information about it in this week's newsletter which should be ready Sunday afternoon/evening. Students-we heard your voice and are making this change because it makes sense. Now...the hallways are still one-way, you don't get that one changed!
If there was ever a staff and student body that I would have to go through this with, I would choose this group every time. As Ms. Ray says, "it's always a great day to be a Viking!" Go Vikes!

Census 2020 Information
Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham announced Monday evening the 2020 Census will stop collecting responses on September 30th - 31 days earlier than the previously announced October 31st deadline. The Census Bureau modified the timeline in order to meet the statutory deadline to deliver apportionment counts to the president by December 31, 2020.
What does this mean? It means census bureau workers have 31 fewer days to collect responses from households who have not responded to the census - which is 32.9% of our state's population. That's 1 in 3 households!
The timeframe to respond to the #2020Census has been shortened by 31 days. Don't shortchange your community, complete your census today at https://my2020census.gov/ or call 844-330-2020.
The road to recovery from COVID-19 is going to be long, but we will get there. And when we do, we need to be sure that our communities have thriving local economies: fully funded healthcare in case we get sick, schools that are not overcrowded, and programs for all our kids who need them. Billions of dollars will be distributed every year for the next ten years based on the results of the 2020 Census. Complete your Census form today.
The 2020 Census will direct $1.5 trillion every year to communities based on how many residents fill out the form. If you don’t complete your census, your community will get less money. After COVID-19, we cannot be left with underfunded schools, hospitals and safety net programs. Completing the 2020 Census ensures our communities get our fair share—the resources we will need to truly recover. Complete your 2020 Census today.
The Census is about money and power. The people who complete the form, get their fair share of both. If you skip the census, money and power that would have gone to your community, will go somewhere else. COVID-19 has stretched our communities so thin. Don’t leave money and power on the table. Complete your 2020 Census today.
