Summer School 2024 registration begins Wednesday, April 3. For more information about summer school offerings, visit the Summer School webpage. Additionally, information is available for summer athletic and activity camps.

All juniors are invited to participate in a full-length practice SAT Test on Thursday, April 4th from 3:00-6:00 in order to give students one last chance to get ready for state testing that will occur on April 10th. Students should sign up here to reserve a spot. They will need to bring a charged iPad and will need to have access to their College Board account. Contact Scott Newmark (snewmark@d211.org) or Kevin Farrell (kfarrell@d211.org) with any questions.

Please consider donating gently used prom/formal dresses, formal shoes, suits, purses, hair tools, and unopened makeup to stock our first annual "Viking Boutique"! Donations will be accepted through April 5 and can be brought to Door 1.

Please donate bikes or musical instruments to the Bike and Instrument Drive this Saturday, April 6 from 9-12 in the parking lot. Bikes and instruments will be repaired/refurbished and then donated to students in need. This event is sponsored by Tri-M Music Honor Society.

On Monday, April 8, all of North America will experience an eclipse of the sun. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks any part of the sun. This will be the first time since 2017 a solar eclipse will be visible on a path across the entire continental United States. The partial solar eclipse will begin at 12:51 PM, with the maximum eclipse happening at 2:07 PM where 93% of the sun will be blocked.

To participate in this rare scientific event, our school has organized a structured, supervised viewing opportunity for students. Safety during the eclipse viewing is our top priority. Because parts of the sun will still be visible, we are providing solar eclipse glasses that must be worn outside at all times. Students and staff will be required to wear solar glasses during the structured activity. There will be signs at all doors warning the students of the eclipse for their protection. Other measures will be put in place as necessary to ensure student and staff safety.

Weather permitting, the bell schedule will be as follows:

1st: 7:30-8:12

2nd: 8:17-8:59

3rd: 9:04-9:46

4th: 9:51-10:34

5th: 10:39-11:22

6th: 11:27-12:10

7th: 12:15-12:58

8th: 1:03-1:45

Eclipse event: 1:45-2:45

If the weather does not cooperate, we will follow a normal 50-minute bell schedule. The decision will be made around 7:30 AM and will be communicated to all students and families as to which schedule we will follow.

Did you know that you can pre-order your lunch using MySchoolBucks? Order ahead (by the night before) and skip the lunch line to pick up your lunch order in the "Mobile Order" area of the cafeteria. This is a great option for students with period-and-a-half classes. During this pilot phase, only 25 mobile orders per lunch hour will be allowed, so get your order in early!
