We understand and appreciate the concern raised about the planned lessons, provided by our elementary school counselor, which are planned to be held in various classes from October 6th - 18th. Each section of every grade will have a grade appropriate 40 min lesson. Prior to classroom instruction, information will be available on our counselor's page https://www.stanley.k12.nd.us/page/elementary-lesson-plans. A packet will also be sent home to each family which will have information on the planned lessons. If anyone would like more information on the lessons, please reach out to our school counselor Eden Cuypers –by phone at 701-628-2422 or by e-mail at Eden.Cuypers@k12.nd.us. If families are not comfortable with the planned lessons, their student will have the option to opt out of the topic being discussed, and students will be provided with an alternative lesson.

Head lice has been detected in the Elementary School. Please check your students and keep them home for treatment if you find lice. I have included a quick reference guide for managing head lice, and we encourage parents to follow the appropriate steps to treat and prevent future infestations. Similarly, we are starting to see an increase in sicknesses in the building and would ask your help in keeping students home if they are unwell. As we approach cold and flu season, we will continue to sanitize our facility and promote health habits such as washing hands and covering sneezes, but an essential piece of keeping our students and staff healthy is to prevent as much sickness from entering the building as possible.
Reminder: No School on Thursday, September 22 and Friday, September 23. There will be staff training those two days.
Volleyball game at Killdeer tonight will be played at the Old High School C game starts at 4:30 MT
