Monday4/8-Smart Goals
Today's Viking time lesson is below , copies where delivered to you by Mrs. Dagan
Below is a note from the Family Engagement Crew
Valley is hoping to have the best turn-out yet for Open House on April 18th. To that end, we are hoping that all teachers will send out personalized Talking Points messages to the parents/guardians of their Viking Time students. This will be a little bit of work, but we are hoping that the personal touch will help parents and guardians see that we really, really, really want them to come and see what their students have been up to this year. To make things easier for you, here’s something you can cut and paste into Talking Points. Feel free to modify it. We’re hoping that if you spend a few minutes on this during each Viking Time day this week, it will be pretty fast and simple. Thank you for your consideration!
-The Family Engagement Crew
Good day Mr/Ms [parent/guardian name]. On Thursday, April 18th, Valley High is hosting Open House. This is an opportunity for you to come see what [student name] is doing in school. Please keep an eye out for more information about this fun event. There will be activities from 5:45-7:30. I hope to see you there! – [teacher name], [student name’s] Viking Time teacher.

Reminders: Students should have all electronic devices put away throughout the duration. Assembly will run the entire length of Viking Time.
Students should LEAVE backpacks in your classroom please for more space/seating and less distraction during the presentation
Wednesday,4/10-Pathways event Faciliated by Link Crew
Please take attendance. Please confirm that your freshmen know which pathway they will be in. Please explain that they are going to an event in the gym and set up expectations for behavior – participate, listen to the student leaders, stay with their group, etc.
At 1:15, please escort your students to the gym and direct them to go to the pathway they were assigned. Please do arrive before 1:15 (the Link Leaders will be setting up the gym until this time). Students may not bring backpacks to the gym.
Once they are with their group, they will be checked in with 5 star and they will receive a wristband that designates their pathway. Once the students are checked in, they will play games and get to know the other kids in their pathways.
This event will mostly be facilitated by seniors in Link Crew. There are not many senior Link Crew leaders, so they will need a lot of help from Freshmen Viking Time teachers with making sure students are making good choices. It will essentially be the entire freshmen class in the gym, so the student leaders will need a LOT of support to make this event go smoothly. Please supervise your students as best you can. I’d also love your help checking students in once all of your students are checked in. Please feel free to participate in the games as well.
At around 2:05, students will return to their Viking Time classes.
