💦 WEATHER CHANNEL UPDATE! 🌪
Mrs. Stafslien’s class had the task of creating a weather channel by reporting on a type of storm. They needed to define the storm, describe safety measures to take, and interesting facts about each! We had so much fun doing this! We even had wind (Thanks Brence for the massive fan!), snow, and water during our reports!
*Great job to Dane for being our anchor man!

Elementary Math Tip: With the high use of credit and debit cards, the actual counting of money has become a less familiar practice for children to observe and participate in these days. Help your child make purchases at stores, allowing them time to pay with cash and to count out change. This will help with their math skills and with the concept of spending.

We know there are a lot of questions about our plans for the near future. At this time, we are working through two different scenarios based on the direction of ND Department of Public Instruction and the ND Governor’s Office.
Option 1 - Safe re-entry to school - This will include surveying families/staff that have been out of state, sanitizing of the schools and buses, changes to the school environment (such as lunch rotations to minimize student contact or changes in recess schedule and hallway procedures.)
Option 2 - Potential for long term closing/e-learning - This will include a staff initiated survey/phone call to parents to determine access to technology from home (expect a phone call on Tuesday), developing lessons/packets for younger students, providing access to sack lunches for those with need.
This is a fluid situation during unprecedented times. At this point, we do not know which option the state will determine for schools. We are doing what we can to be prepared for either scenario. We are working with the best interest of our students, staff, and community at heart. More information will be shared throughout the week. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Governor Burgum has ordered all K-12 schools in North Dakota be closed March 16-March 20. So, there will be no school in Stanley this week. More information will be shared when it is available.
Per the guidance from the North Dakota Governor and North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, Stanley School will continue to provide education as usual. This is a fluid situation and we will make additional announcements on any changes if needed. School will resume Monday as scheduled. As the previous announcement stated, all extracurricular activities including practices and contests have been postponed indefinitely. As an extra precaution the school buildings are closed outside regular school hours until further notice. Also, reminder there is no school next Thursday and Friday due to previously scheduled spring break.
The 7-12 dance for tonight, March 13, has been canceled.
Per the NDHSAA, in response to President Trump's Emergency Declaration. All extracurricular activities have been postponed indefinitely. This includes all practices and contests alike. All open gyms will also be postponed until further notice.
Be sure to get your Yardzee order in!
5/6 grade Elementary BBB practice will start on Monday, March 16 @ 5:30 in the High School lunch room. There will be a brief parent meeting where coaches Lucas Colbenson and Drew Nichols can hand out and present information for the upcoming season. After the meeting, practice will be held until 7pm in the High School Gym.
With the ongoing concerns about Coronavirus, we want you to know that the safety and health of our students, staff, and community is one of our top priorities. We will continue to do what we can to try to stop the spread of disease causing germs and ask for the parents and community to help in this endeavor.
The Stanley School District custodial staff is cleaning and sanitizing commonly touched surfaces on a regular basis throughout the day. Disinfecting wipes have also been distributed to all teachers to help clean surfaces in classrooms throughout the day. Buses will be disinfected on a regular basis.
We are also encouraging students and staff to wash hands more frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds at a time. We ask that parents and community members help follow these practices as well and also encourage students to regularly wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water while they are not at school.
We ask that students, staff, and community members that are sick to please not come to the schools. Those experiencing a fever (100.3 °F or higher) and other flu/respiratory illness symptoms should not come to school. If you have questions about student attendance, please contact the building principal. Please note if an individual has a fever below 100.3 °F but have been taking medicines that help reduce fevers they should not come to school until their fever is below 100.3 °F without medication.
If the Coronavirus comes to our community, we will be in close contact with public health officials to help determine the best course of action for the school. We are hoping it doesn't become necessary, but, as seen in other communities around the country, it may become necessary for the school to close for a period of time (this decision would not be made lightly). We will also be working closely with North Dakota High School Activities Association on potential impacts to extracurricular activities.
You may have seen that some schools throughout the country are closing down school and conducting learning online. Please know that we have been told from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction that is not an option in North Dakota - that would not count toward the number of classroom hours required by the state.
