Good morning, Viking Nation!
It has been brought to our attention that some parents may be using photographs taken by Vibrant Valley to create their own senior banners for display in the gym. I **strongly and unequivocally discourage this practice.**
We respect the time, talent, and intellectual property of our photography partners, and we expect our families to do the same. Using photographs without proper authorization is not something we support, and it does not reflect the standards we expect as a school community.
**Please understand that any custom signs or banners created by parents done in that manor will NOT be displayed in the gym.** Any such purchases or creations are made at the parents’ own discretion and are not sponsored, approved, or endorsed by Center School District. We will not display materials that use Vibrant Valley’s photography without proper authorization.
Now, on to the exciting part!
**SENIOR PICTURES — THURSDAY AT 2:00 PM!**
Seniors, YOU NEED TO COME PREPARED! That means getting with your coaches ahead of time to collect any and all uniforms, jerseys, equipment, and props you want included in your senior pictures. Do not wait until the last minute to get your gear together!
Our goal is to have the official senior banners hanging in the gym by **Saturday**, and we want to make sure our seniors are represented the right way!
Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support of Center Athletics. We want to celebrate our seniors in a big way while doing things the right way.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out and I will be happy to address any concerns you might have.
Thank you,
Adam Sperandio
Athletic Director

Dear Skoglund Families,
At Skoglund Middle School, we believe every student has the ability to learn, grow, and succeed. Our goal is to make sure every student feels safe, supported, and encouraged each day.
Through our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), we work together to identify what each student needs and provide the right support at the right time.
This includes:
Clear and consistent behavior expectations in all areas of our school
Academic support tailored to individual student needs
Social-emotional support, including check-ins and lessons that help students build positive relationships and healthy skills
Our students do best when school and families work together. Thank you for partnering with us to help your child learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
Together, we are building a safe, supportive, and successful school community where every Viking can thrive!
Go Vikings!
