Great opportunity for a softball camp today!
The Class of 2025 invites you to attend their baccalaureate ceremony on May 14th at 7pm.
Join our senior class as they celebrate Class Night.
The finals schedule for students in grades 7-12 is posted below. Students in grades 7 and 8 must take the finals. Students in grades 9-12 are exempted based on their grades and attendance. Students with more than 4 absences must take the final.
A = 4 absences or less
B = 3 absences or less
C = 2 absences or less
D/F = must take the final
For students who are exempted from finals, please know Thursday and Friday are for testing purposes. This is not a good time to be at the school just to visit friends. Your friends will be testing. If you are choosing to stay in class, you will be expected to take the final. If you are at the school for finals and have a period where you are exempted from the test, you are expected to come to the office for that hour to ensure that the hallways/classrooms stay free of distractions.
Also, on Friday, students dismiss at 11:33 for lunch. Buses will arrive shortly after noon. If your child would like to leave at 11:33, we need parent permission. Otherwise students are expected to stay for the lunch period of 11:33 - Noon.
With the end of the school year fast approaching, don't forget to order your 2024-2025 Stanley High School yearbook! Go to the link below and search for Stanley High School.

Today in math, Ms. Nelson’s 5th graders practiced coordinate planes by playing Battleship. It was a great way to apply what they’ve learned while keeping things interactive and engaging. Lots of strategy, focus, and a little friendly competition in the classroom!

You bring the smiles, we'll bring the Science!
See you on May 15, 2025 at 9:30-11am for our Junior High Science Fair!
Stanley High School physical sciences classes were visited by Trooper Christa Kovarik of the North Dakota Highway Patrol who has special training in crash reconstruction. Trooper Kovarik showed students how she measures skid marks to determine crash speeds. Students were able to pull a drag sled and measure forces to determine drag factors. Students learned how to apply Newton's laws in real-world crash investigations. Thanks to Trooper Krista for her time and knowledge!
Tomorrow we officially begin our childhood cancer fundraiser in memory of our friend, Jacob Hynek. There will be hat days throughout the next week for $1.00. High school students can grab a pledge sheet to raise money for the fundraiser. Top 3 earners will win some great prizes! Jacob always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes so to keep Jacob's wit and humorous spirit alive, his friends will be sharing dad jokes every morning - We will post them on facebook as well, so you can hopefully start your day with a smile like Jacob!
