Viking Academy Class Disclosure

Viking Academy is a mentoring period held each week. The class will meet before 2^nd/6^th period from 10:20-10:50 on Wednesdays. Students will be assigned to their 2nd-period teacher (released time, home release, and magnet students will be assigned to a mentor teacher with a prep period).

Attendance is required for all students. Viking Academy is identified as Period 10 on your schedule.
