Your voice and experiences are valuable as we work to advocate for our students, families, staff, and community.

Due to the high winds and weather conditions, we are asking parents/guardians who are able to please pick up their students after school today if possible. We are trying to avoid running our high-profile buses in these wind conditions unless absolutely necessary for student safety.
If you plan to pick up your child(ren), please call the front office at 701-828-3334 so we can coordinate and make a plan with our transportation department.
If your child still needs bus transportation, buses will continue to run as needed.
Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and support as we work to keep our students and staff safe.
