Summer EBT Program: In summer 2024, North Dakota will launch Summer EBT, a new grocery benefits program that provides families $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out. Summer is a time when many children lose the free and reduced-price meals they get at school, and when households might need a little extra help putting meals on the table. Most families will get these benefits automatically, but some parents will need to apply. For more information, go to: https://ndsummerebt.nd.gov/

Reminder that the School will have an informational meeting on our work-based learning program at 7:00PM tonight in the new Ag. Ed. classroom. The goal of this meeting is to provide an overview of our WBL program and to create work-based opportunities for our students for the 2024-2025 school year. If you are unable to attend but MAY be interested in hosting a student in your workplace, providing job shadow experiences, or just have questions about the program, please fill out the following survey: https://forms.gle/YoYA1usS9n8qJiaZ8 Brian.Christopherson@k12.nd.us or call the school at 843-7610.

Good morning, Just a quick update on what the school is doing for the next two days. Water fountains have been turned off. The kitchen has boiled plenty of water for kids for breakfast and lunch. Hand sanitizer bottles are being filled and we will have extra water in both offices for students and staff; but please have your children bring their own to start off the day. We will communicate with all students as well as remind students of the do's and don'ts regarding the city water throughout the next to days.

Due to issues with the water in town, please send your child with a bottle full of water each day since we cannot use our water fountains or taps. We will send them home at the end of the day every day until we get news from the city that we can use the city water again. Thank you for your support!

Notice: This afternoon, the New Salem Fire Department, along with other first responders will be doing a mock drill at the intersection of 3rd street and Elm Ave for the New Salem High School students to help them realize the risk of distracted/drunk driving. Please be mindful while traveling through the area.

Work-Based Learning for the 2024-2025 School Year New Salem-Almont School District is excited to invite area community members to a special Work-Based Learning (WBL) meeting (formerly school-to-work), aimed at fostering collaboration between our school district and the business community. The goal of the meeting is to provide an overview of our WBL program and to create work-based opportunities for our students for the 2024-2025 school year. We recognize the immense value of connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences. Through work-based learning opportunities, students gain valuable skills, insights, and hands-on experiences that prepare them for success in their future careers. The meeting will be held at New Salem-Almont High School in the new CTE addition on Tuesday, April 16 at 7:00PM. We believe that by working together, we can create meaningful learning experiences that not only benefit our students but also contribute to the economic vitality of our community. If you cannot attend the meeting but are interested in offering a work-based experience, you can fill out this survey at: https://forms.gle/sdnbpcLkD9swzaen8 For more information, email Brian.Christopherson@k12.nd.us or call the school at 843-7610.
