Grades 7-12 students are able to attend high school sporting events. Visiting teams are allowed two parents per player as well. That leaves us with 20 passes for the general public.

Breaking News: Governor Burgum amends his order and allows extracurricular activities to begin November 30. There will be some restrictions but it appears that student-athletes can begin to practice on November 30th. More to come as we learn all of the details.

There will be no school on Friday, December 11. We are taking this day off to give teachers a mental health day. All of our teachers need to prepare lesson plans for the students they have in class and this year, the ones that are at home learning. We appreciate the fact that we can hold school in-person five days a week when many other schools use hybrid schedules, but it does take a toll when preparing for the different modes of instruction. Teachers that must be out of the building due to COVID all have continued to prepare lessons and, in many instances, go" live" or record on their online platform to continue to teach while caring for their own children at home. So, on December 11, we say thank you educators for all you do!

Due to Governor Burgum's proclamation, all staff and students will be required to wear masks while in school beginning on Monday, November 16. Furthermore, all NSA extracurricular activities are suspended until December 14. https://www.governor.nd.gov/sites/www/files/documents/executive-orders/Executive%20Order%202020-43.pdf
