Our students have done a great job wearing their masks today! Please be sure they’re coming with clean masks each day. Masks also need to be worn on buses. Thank you, parents and students. We appreciate you! 💙
Due to the state health officer order and Governor Burgum’s executive order, starting Monday, November 16 face masks will be required at school through at least December 14. Also, all extracurricular activities including all games, practices, and open gyms are cancelled through December 14.

Parents, as we move into the holiday season, please know that distance learning is not for vacation purposes. It is meant for quarantining and ill students only.

For the second semester (January 4 – May 21) our full-time online option will look different than the first semester. For the second semester, our students who opt to learn full-time online will be utilizing an online learning platform called Edgenuity. The students will be learning from this platform and will not be learning directly from the teachers in our buildings. Everyone should realize that this is a rigorous program that will not be an easier option to in person learning.
Parents/guardians will need to assist students in grades K-6 with coursework as they will not be working directly with a teacher. Older students (7-12) will have to watch their pacing and make sure they are getting their work done so they can complete their classes prior to the end of the school year, this will require parents to help monitor their student’s progress and students to be self-motivated and organized. Again, all online learners should expect that the online courses will be quite rigorous.
Students who choose the online option will not be learning at the same time as the learners in our buildings, rather they will be learning asynchronously through this new platform. Students will be able to work on their classes at their own times. We will have a staff person who is monitoring student progress and helping to keep students on track to complete their courses by the end of the semester. This staff person will be the point of contact for all online learners.
Any questions on the new online learning option should be directed to the building principals – Mrs. Klabunde at the elementary school (701-628-2422) and Mrs. Pulver at the high school (701-628-2342).
