We are currently working on finalizing our bus route stops and times, both rural and in town. Most rural routes will be very similar to last year. Our town route drop off points will be slightly different. We will share specific information on where those stops are and estimated pick up and drop off times by the end of next week.
Please note cell phones are not allowed during our learning day. Cell phones must be left at home or powered off in a locker. This practice was very beneficial on our learning time last year and will be continued in the future.
Welcome back to a school year filled with excitement and new opportunities! As high school principal, I am committed to working with you, your child, and teachers to help your child achieve their fullest potential. I care deeply for this community, school system, and for the individuals who walk through the door every day. I believe a positive educational experience takes a team approach.
Open communication is critical to student success. If you have a question or concern, I ask that you reach out to your child’s teacher first to discuss how to best address the issue at hand. Our teachers are willing to work along side parents and students to make the school year successful. After contacting the teacher, you may also reach out to me if you have any concerns. It is impossible for us to address any issues if we don’t know about them. We would much rather work together at the start of a concern, than to have it carry on deeper into the semester. Our school website has an anonymous bullying form that can be used to share any possible bullying incidents or concerns. We investigate every report that is filed. Staff emails can be found on our website. My email is alecia.pulver@k12.nd.us.
At any time, you can access your child’s grades via Powerschool. Our Stanley School website and app are helpful sources of information as well. Please call in when your child will not be in school. New this year, you can send us a quick message on our school app/website to inform us if your child will not be in the building for the day.
Attendance is important for student success. We ask vacations/time away from school be kept to a minimum. However, if your child is ill, do not send them to school.
We do not have registration dates set up this fall as your child registered for classes this spring. Your child's schedule is available on Powerschool. We have set aside dates to allow parents to pay fees, update contact information, and to allow students to walk through their schedules. School starts on August 17th.
Sincerely,
Alecia Pulver

As always, I strive to continue to improve myself so that I can serve our students, community, and stake holders to the best of my ability.
