New Salem-Almont will release students early on Monday, January 19 at 1:20PM for teacher professional development that is required by the state.
The decision has been made to dismiss school at 2:45 today (Friday, January 16) and busses will run where possible. Parents of bus students-if you want to come get your child(ren) early or don't want them to ride the bus, please call the school and let us know.
All after school activities have been canceled for today, Friday, January 16th.
Reminder that we will have school today; parents are always encouraged to make their own decision on the weather depending where they live out in the country.
I believe the no travel will be lifted as the snow dissipates and the sun rises. Each bus driver can and will make the decision to turn around if conditions should warrant it.

We are proud to share that New Salem–Almont High School earned the 2nd highest high school accountability score in North Dakota! This included exceptional state assessment results, ranking #5 in high school math and #6 in high school reading statewide.
While this score is reported at the high school level, it reflects the strength of our entire K–12 district. Strong foundations built at the elementary and middle school levels play a critical role in long-term student success.
That growth is evident across the district, including Prairie View Elementary, which saw a 15% increase in overall performance from last year — a testament to the dedication and hard work of our students and staff.
This achievement belongs to our teachers, students, and community. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished together and will continue to focus on engaging, empowering, and elevating students for success.

New Salem-Almont Parents: Please encourage kids to use sidewalks and the crosswalk when walking to school. It is still dark outside in the mornings and we want to make sure our students get to school safely everyday. Thank you for your support!

Congratulations to Baily Kunz on receiving the Ethan Hoger Memorial Scholarship.
Holstein fans, this was shared with me and is helpful when you are trying to find out where you can watch the Holsteins when they are on the road.
As school starts back up on Monday, we wanted to share a few reminders about sickness and school. With so many winter illnesses going around, we’re doing our best to keep students and staff healthy, and to make sure anyone who isn’t feeling well has time to rest and recover at home.
NO OPEN GYM TODAY. There is a scheduled varsity practice. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Congratulations to the November/December Students of the Month:

Today we had a special guest chef—Officer Tommy! He treated the students to pancakes with chocolate chips baked inside. Thank you to Renae and her staff for allowing us to help out.
During breakfast, I had the chance to sit with a group of second-grade girls. One of them shared that she loves Christmas because everyone is smiling and her entire family will be coming to visit. I hope everyone is able to find some time over break to enjoy being with family.
Thank you for your continued support, and Merry Christmas from all of us at New Salem-Almont School!
Note: Reminder that tomorrow (Tuesday), we dismiss at 1:00PM.

New Salem–Almont will be in session today. This decision was made after driving the roads north of town, speaking with two patrons who live south of town, and reviewing the current forecast.
As always, the decision to send your child to school is a parent choice. If you feel road conditions are not safe, we completely understand. Students will still be welcome to attend the PVE concert this evening.
Buses will be leaving slightly later than normal, as additional daylight was needed to make the final determination. Bus drivers also understand that they have the authority to turn around if they feel road conditions are unsafe.
