A list of links and meeting times have been emailed to students in grades 6-12 for their weekly zoom meeting. Meetings are set for the first day of each week. Please have students check their email each day to see if there are any updates or changes to any of their classes
If you have things you would like to retrieve from the locker rooms. There will be an opportunity to grab it when you pick up materials for your students. Ask school personnel for directions after you pick up your things and they will direct on where to go.
The devices that are available for checkout are iPads with keyboards and chargers. The iPads have been loaded with the apps that are necessary for school tasks.
If you have an iPad and would like to check out a keyboard you may do so at distribution of materials tomorrow Wednesday March 25
Please contact the school if you have not filled out the survey for technology check out. We need to know if there any additional families that need technology as soon as possible. Please make sure you contact the school today.
An update for tomorrow's material / technology pickup for all K-12 students:
Pickup will be from 9 am - 12 pm. Please only use the bus lane in the middle of the north parking lot. We will come out to your vehicle and give you your student's items that they will need. You do not need to get out of your vehicle. We will come out to you as items have been sorted by family for ease of distribution.
All children ages 18 and below will also be given lunch for tomorrow and breakfast the next day.
Lastly, if there are any technology or device needs, please use the north parking lot spots along the sidewalk starting from east to west only AFTER you have gone through the bus lane. We will have you move your vehicle forward for technology sign out. Technology sign out sheets will need to be signed by parents and/or students. If your student also needs to signout a graphing calculator for math, please contact the school and let Mrs. Vigested as soon as possible. If you have any other questions, please text Mr. Gruenberg @ 701-500-3115.
Students that are enrolled in dual credit classes should have been communicated with by their respective university. Those classes will start again either today or tomorrow so please make sure you stay on top of that.
There has been a slight change to our materials distribution. Materials for students in grades k-12 will be available for pickup from 9am-12pm on Wednesday March 25. One pickup per family is asked. You may drive up to the bus lane in front of the front door and someone from the school will give you the proper materials. Students that will be checking out devices or graphing calculators will need to have a parent sign a Checkout Agreement.
