Hi Stanley Parents, With school just around the corner, the math department would like to talk about calculators. Each math teacher has a shared classroom set, and we do have a plan to disinfect these between each class. If we digress in our Covid safety level, we may lose the sharing opportunity. If you would like to provide your child with a personal calculator, you may do so. IT IS NOT REQUIRED, but could be recommended. These are the calculators that we are using: Jr. High, PreAlgebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Applied Math: ~~ TI-30xIIs - Scientific Calculator https://www.amazon.com/TI-30XIIS-Texas-Instruments-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B015G8NZKW/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ti-30xiis&qid=1596663863&sr=8-3 Algebra 2, PreCalc, Calc: ~~TI-84 Plus - Graphing Calculator. **this is a fairly expensive calculator (around $120), but it will be required in college math, so it could be considered an investment. https://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-TI-84-Graphing-Calculator/dp/B00TFYYWQA/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=ti-84&qid=1596663910&sr=8-2 Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

NDHSAA announces the reopening of fall athletics. Safety guidelines have not been announced yet and will be released as soon as they are available. Go BlueJays

We want to thank all of our students, staff, and families for their patience as we plan to resume school this fall. As you all probably know, Governor Burgum released the ND Smart Restart Guidance for schools yesterday. The guidelines from the state provided for local control and decision making by school boards and administrators in consultation with educators, staff, local public health officials, and families. The decisions on how to open school safely will be based on guidance from the North Dakota Department of Health, US Centers for Disease Control, and other sources. The guidelines require districts to present two plans to the school board for approval before any student services can be conducted this fall. Both plans will be published on the district’s web site. School administrators will now begin the process of planning for returning to school this fall. As mentioned previously, we will be seeking input from families. In the coming days we will be sending out a link to a survey for families to share their thoughts and input on several key points. We will post the link to the survey on our web site, on the school’s Facebook page, and a link will be sent by text message via our alert system. Again, thank you for your patience as we work out plans to resume school this fall.

It's our last week of the "Live Your Best Life" Challenge! All names will be put into a drawing for a grand prize! Did you know that spending time with family builds confidence for all of its members. Parents can teach children to build self-esteem through specific skills such as problem solving and communication. They can also model the ability to love oneself without degrading others. For parents and children, confidence grows simply with the knowledge that they are valued and appreciated by their loved ones. For more information on the benefits you gain by spending time as a family go to: https://highlandspringsclinic.org/blog/the-top-ten-benefits-of-spending-time-with-family/

Live Your Best Life Challenge - Week 3! According to Highland Springs Specialty Clinic, children who spend more time with their families have shown less risk of behavioral issues, such as violence and substance abuse. When they receive positive attention for positive behaviors, it increases their desire to continue those healthy patterns. Doing activities together also provides an outlet for pent-up emotions that could otherwise lead to unhealthy decisions. If a child or teenager feels comfortable bringing problems to you for a listening ear and advice, they will be better equipped to cope with problems and make positive choices.
