Viking View

THANK YOU! We are so appreciative of the staff, parents, and community members who helped make our regular season athletic events successful. Thanks to all the ticket takers, line judges, referees, chain gangs, clock keepers, score book/stat keepers and others who gave their time for our student athletes! We will be needing help when basketball gets rolling so if you can help with score clocks, tickets, shot clocks, or keeping the books please contact the office.

End of 1st Quarter: Nov. 2 is the end of the first quarter. Make sure you are communicating with your students and their teachers about their grades. If your student is enrolled with the Montana Digital Academy you should be receiving emails from them every two weeks about your student’s progress. There should never be surprises on poor grades come report card time. Communication from parents to their students and their students’ teachers is the key.

Play Off Football: The Vikings travel to Ennis for a 1st round game of the 8 man playoffs this Saturday at 1 PM. The boys have battled all season to get back in the saddle after a rough start to the season. As a little reference: AA football allows 12 of 16 schools to make the playoffs, A football allows 12 of 23 to make the playoffs, B football allows 16 of 25 schools, 8 man allows 16 of 37, and 6 man allows 16 of 40 schools to make the play offs. Go Vikings!

District Volleyball: The Lady Vikings play Thursday at 1 PM in Hot Springs at the 14C District Tournament. From there games will be determined on winning or losing. Go get’em Ladies!

Substitutes: We are always looking for substitute teachers, bus drivers, custodians, and cooks to help fill in when regular employees have to be gone. If you would like to be on our substitute list please contact the office for more information at 644-2206.

Question of the Week: What is the plan for basketball with the main gym being flooded?

As of today our insurance carrier has approved a total floor replacement due to the flooding on the main gym floor. Work will begin Oct. 30 on that project. We are being told the entire project will take 6-8 weeks. We are very lucky to have a second gym which will now be our main facility for practices. JHGB and HSVB are currently working with each other with practice times. Once high school basketball starts we will work through practice schedules with one gym as well. We will have to wait and see on the progress of floor replacement but if all goes well we do not expect a huge impact in the basketball season other than trading some home games for away games if necessary. We will take it one day at a time crossing each bridge as we come to it. We appreciate your patience in the matter.

If you have a question of the week please email [email protected].
