Grand march is at 8:30pm tonight. We ask that all students and families park behind the school. You will be able to set up chairs around the walking path so the couples can parade right in front of you. Bring your own chairs please. Prom will conclude at 12, and we will hand out after prom gifts right after. All couples can come earlier to get pictures taken starting at 7pm. Pictures are complimentary.

In March 2019, Governor Burgum closed schools for in-person instruction due to concerns about COVID-19. He directed schools to serve their students via distance learning “until further notice”. The Governor amended his order on June 1st to allow schools to have summer school and to provide daycare as long as it was in groups of 15 or less. We are in frequent contact with the ND Department of Public Instruction and the Governor’s Office trying to find out what schools will be allowed to do in August. At this time, we do not know if students will be allowed to return. If they are allowed to return, will class-size caps and social distancing guidelines be in place? Will schools still have the authority to offer distance learning classes to our students who have been identified as high risk by a medical-professional? These are just a few of the many questions that we are waiting for answers. It is our hope that updated ND K-12 Smart Restart Guidance that we need to follow will be released by Friday, July 17th. Once those guidelines are released we will share the educational plan for this fall. Please pay attention to Governor Burgum's address next week as information regarding K-12 education should be released at that time. We know how difficult this uncertainty is for many of you. Rest assured that as soon as we have guidance from the state, we will communicate our plan. If you have specific questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me @ 701-500-3115.

Due to COVID-19, the Powers Lake School District wants to provide a safe environment to place your vote for the Powers Lake School Board. We are planning to run the election for school board with absentee ballot. If you have completed the absentee ballot form on the county level, you should receive a ballot in the mail from us. Please make sure that you postmark this ballot by June 9th. There is a ballot box available for drop off in the school entrance which is open from 6 am to 6 pm on weekdays and will be removed at 5 pm on June 8th, 2020. We can give you an absentee ballot, but you must complete the application form as that is how we determine who voted and that the votes are counted correctly. Those forms are also available in the office and by the ballot box. If you have received a ballot from us, but haven’t filled out the application form, your ballot may not be counted. So please complete the form and turn it into our office. Thank you for your patience during this time as we are receiving a high number of absentee ballot requests and this process is new to our office. Thank you & Stay Safe
