𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆: https://forms.gle/ocDBZn4gf1bBVKYy9 During this time of so much uncertainty, we have been waiting to ask for your ideas and concerns and opinions until we received more information and guidance from the state. As we make decisions toward beginning in the fall, we are asking your opinion in regards to what our restart may look like. Our priorities are to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff and provide the best learning opportunities possible for our students. Please know that your ideas, concerns, and opinions are deeply valued. We know that there is not a simple or perfect solution, and we are doing our very best to meet the needs of the students, staff, and community as we move forward with developing a plan.

Last March, Governor Burgum closed schools for in-person instruction due to concerns about COVID-19. He directed schools to serve their students via distance learning “until further notice." The Governor amended his order on June 1st to allow schools to have summer school and to provide daycare as long as it was in groups of 15 or less. We are in frequent contact with the ND Department of Public Instruction and the Governor’s office trying to find out what schools will be allowed to do in August. Yesterday, the Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction released the ND K12 Restart Guide. This is a guide for local districts to start the planning process for educating students this fall. Within the guide is the requirement to update our Offsite Learning Plan and Develop a written Health and Safety Plan with our local Health Department. With the guidelines laid out, we will begin the process of rewriting our Offsite Learning Plan, as well as work with the Health Department on a Health and Safety Plan. In this process, we will be asking for input from parents and community members. Please keep an eye out for these surveys as your input is greatly needed. We know how difficult this uncertainty is for many of you. Rest assured that as soon as we have brought our team together and worked through the ND K12 Restart Guide, we will communicate our plan to all of you. If you have specific questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Wayne Stanley, Superintendent
