Profile of a Viking Indicators

The Profile of a Viking reflects the core competencies that we strive for each student to have upon graduation and for each member of our school community to develop.

The Profile of a Viking was created with input from staff, students, families and community coupled with educational research centered on the skills we all need in order to be successful in education, work and life.

The Profile of a Viking serves as the lens by which we focus our daily lessons, interactions and decision-making.

We are asking families and community members to review the indicators of what the five core competencies  look like and share whether they support the indicators as written or if they have feedback/ concerns/ suggestions.  

We ask for responses by Monday, October 3, 2022.
