GBB games are in Des Lacs tonight starting at 5:00 PM.
The weather as it has been for about 9 nine days now, continues to be a challenge. We are going ahead with the plan to have school start at regular time with a 1:30 PM dismissal. Buses this morning will travel where possible. Highways are in better shape then they were yesterday morning, the gravel roads are starting to fill in. It will be drifting all day long so those that live in difficult areas you certainly may keep your child home today and they will not be counted absent, please call the school, and let us know. If anyone else feels it is too dangerous to send their child to school today again, please call the school and they will not be counted absent. Hopefully the weather start to 2023 will be much better. Thank you.

Weather conditions have not improved. Therefore we will Distance Learn today. JH/HS Students will use the 10:30 AM schedule that was posted yesterday and used yesterday. Hopefully Monday we will all be back in school. Thank you.
This is wishful thinking on our part, but we are hoping that the weather will improve by tomorrow morning so that we can have in person school tomorrow. As of right now we are planning on a 10:30 AM start. If it continues to snow and blow all night long that will be changed tomorrow morning to distance learning. Because there is a high probability that it will snow and blow all night long everyone should be prepared for another day of distant learning. We will let you know early tomorrow morning which direction we are going. Thank you.
Girls' Basketball games scheduled for tonight have been postponed.
With forecast for today and still currently a no travel advisory in our area we will distance learn today. The JH/HS will use the 10:30 AM start schedule which has been posted to the live feed and JH/HS students are expected to be online during those times. Thank you.
Here is the 10:30 AM JH/HS Schedule.
This is a message from the North Star School. The weather does not want to let up as another rough round of weather is forecasted for tomorrow. The current plan for tomorrow is to start in person school at 10:30 AM. There will not be morning Pre-School or breakfast. Buses will run on paved roads only so please contact your bus driver for a pickup location. If you live out of the city of Cando and have not been able to dig out yet call the school and let us know and your child will not be counted absent. If your child is still not 100 percent healthy keep them home another day. If there is a change from the late start to distance learning that instant alert will come out tomorrow morning no later than 8:30 AM. Thank you.
Sorry, this is a little late, but we just got back from the BB game and roads are fairly icy. Because of the poor road conditions and we had about 18 percent of our students out today because of sickness we will distance learn tomorrow and Wednesday and then reassess on Wednesday to determine the status for Thursday. Students in the JH/HS are expected to be online during their scheduled classes tomorrow and Wednesday. Elementary students have their work packets, and all elementary teachers will be available to help tomorrow and Wednesday during the day so if there are questions contact your child's teacher. We will do disaffecting of all classrooms tomorrow. Thank you and have a good evening.
