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.
A few of our FCCLA members packed Christmas boxes for the Cando Food Pantry today. The food pantry provides so much for families in our community. Thank you Gloria O’Brien for having us and organizing everything! 🎄❤️

Because we are still in a blizzard warning we will cancel school for today (November 10th). Remember tomorrow is Veterans Day so there is no school tomorrow. Thank you.
We are currently in a blizzard warning that is to begin at 4:00 AM tomorrow morning. We will not have school tomorrow if that blizzard warning continues, however because we currently do not have any snow on the ground and we are on the edge of the blizzard warning we are going to wait until early tomorrow morning to see if things change to make the official call. Thank you for your patience.
