Great Opportunity for Students Interested in a Welding Career!

Dear Families, We are sorry there was confusion with our original site to sign up for Kindergarten Assessment Days. We have fixed the problem (wrong time zone) and have created a new poll. Please click the following link to sign up for a time for you and your child to attend our K Days on either Aug 3 or 4th. https://doodle.com/poll/8uux33xw6hdya87f?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link There are two sessions to choose from 9-11:00 am or 12-2:00 pm. Please pick ONE time that works best for you -- keeping in mind that parents are asked to attend a parent meeting for the first 45 minutes. If you have not yet registered your child for Kindergarten (ex: filled out paperwork) please still choose a time. This will be a great time to fill out paperwork and bring in your child's immunization form and birth certificate. If you have any more questions, please contact Mrs. Roise (andie.roise@k12.nd.us) Thank you! Your Kindergarten Teachers, Mrs. Brooke Johnson Mrs. Hannah Leupp Mrs. Andie Roise
