Just a reminder that PT Conferences are tomorrow from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. We will dismiss school at 2:45 PM tomorrow. The parallel orange lines painted along the evergreens in the lunchroom parking lot are for the district tournament not student drop off or pick up. There will be no parking between those lines during the district tournament. Hopefully they will not be covered by snow in the morning. Have a good evening.

This is a message from the North Star School. Tomorrow morning will be another tough morning weather wise. Fortunately, the visibility and the roads will be in good shape, and there will be a light wind. Our current plan is to start school on time and if we need to change from that an alert will come out at 6:00 AM. If your child is riding on the bus, please remember they need gloves, a warm coat, a warm hat, and boots. We will have spare buses started immediately in the morning in case of bus issues, but it will still take up to 30 minutes to get to a stranded bus. If your child drives to school they should have a full tank of fuel, a warm coat, a warm hat, gloves, boots, blankets, and a fully charged cell phone. If you feel it is too dangerous to send your child to school call the school in the morning and they will not be counted absent. Thank you and try to stay warm.
