We Are A Community Igniting the Joy of Learning and Inspiring Leaders.

Classroom Safety

In accordance with new state legislation, all classroom doors will remain  closed and locked during instructional time. This helps us maintain a secure learning environment while continuing to foster connection and creativity. Teachers will actively monitor students during hallway work and small group activities, ensuring learning continues in safe and supported ways.

Exterior Doors

All exterior doors must remain closed and unpropped. New signage reminds visitors to check in at the front office-thank you for helping us keep our campus secure.

No Hats Indoors

As a sign of respect and unity, we ask that students remove hats when inside the building. This small gesture helps us maintain a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for everyone. Students may wear their hats at recess, per teacher discretion. 

️Lunch Visits Begin September 8th
We're excited to welcome families back for lunch starting Monday , September 8th! To ensure a safe and respectful experience:

• All visitors must check in at the front office with Ms. Kelly.

• Families may eat lunch with their child only on the stage or in the Butterfly Garden.

• While enjoying this time together, we ask that adults refrain from using phones during lunch.

• You're welcome to take photos of your child only, with or without yourself in the picture. Please note that photographing other students is a violation of our school policy.

Volunteer Opportunities

September also brings new opportunities to get involved! We're grateful for the many ways families support our school, and we look forward to partnering with you through volunteering. Please visit PTBoard for Viking Volunteers or see our last Viking Voice newsletter for Viking Dads opportunities. We also are launching a new platform called Partner Connect! Once you join, you can follow our school and see the many opportunities we have for various needs within our school. If you support our school, we want to partner with you and support you!

👉 Viking Dad Fridays: Thank You!
We’re thrilled with the incredible response to Viking Dad Fridays—most slots have already been taken! Thank you to all the dads who signed up and showed such strong interest in being part of this special experience.

➡️ If you’d still like to sign up, check here: bit.ly/vikingdads

Be sure to keep checking for cancellations, and watch for the next round of volunteer days coming soon!

👉 We Still Need Volunteers for Precess!
While Viking Dad Fridays filled quickly, we still need dads to help with Precess. This is an easy (and fun!) way to make a big impact at Vickery Creek Elementary—spend time outside with students during morning recess, play games, encourage teamwork, and be a positive role model.

The best part? It’s only from 7:00–7:35 AM, so you can do it before heading to work. You can sign up for as many Precess days as you’d like, and the kids love seeing Viking Dads out on the playground.

Dad Joke of the Week: Why did the cow go to space? To see the moooon!

What Is the MRA?

The Measurable Results Assessment is a rigorously developed survey tool used to annually collect, analyze, and report student-, staff-, and school-level outcomes related to the focus on improving leadership, culture, and academics. 

Leader in Me Schools use the MRA as they engage in continuous cycles of improvement to identify its strengths and weaknesses, develop improvement plans, and monitor progress.

The MRA measures are aligned with the highly effective practices outlined in the Leader in Me Framework. This alignment empowers schools to move from data insights to action plans and best leverage their limited time and resources to meet their most important goals.

Below are the results from our MRA Survey from Fall 2024. We focused on the three lowest categaories throughout the school year. Our goal is to have 190 people complete the MRA Survey for this year. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
