Congrats to our board Chairman Rodger Affeldt for receiving the Legacy Award from the NDSBA for his many years of dedicated service.  Thank you for what you do for our students, staff, and community!

Congratulations to our Bob Callies Elementary CyberMadness team (The Troops) who tied for 27th place out of 38 middle school teams earlier this week! The team members are Camden Diffely, Rickie Ouhl, Robbie Maki, and Avery Sprenger. We are proud of your efforts competing against teams of 6-8th graders, and are excited to see all you may accomplish in the future! Thank you to Ms. Blomquist for the opportunity to compete!

🚨 **Important Reminder for Parents and Students** 🚨 To ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone, we kindly ask that **all elementary students attending games must be accompanied by an adult**. Additionally, students should remain seated and enjoy the game from the stands—**this is not a time to run around**. Let’s cheer on our teams respectfully and keep the focus on the game. If not, these students will be sent home, in order for others to continue to enjoy the game.🏀🏈⚽ Thank you for your cooperation in making our events safe and fun for all! 🎉

JH/HS Pictures are available to view online now at Jostenspix.com. Use Event Code FE81524 and your child(ren)'s Lunch ID to view and order their photos. If you need to have retakes, you can plan for that Nov. 5 at the high school.

Hello! We have Parent Teacher Conferences scheduled for October 10 at 3:45-8:00 PM. Once again, we are asking elementary parents to go onto the site to schedule your own conferences during this time. Please use the following link to select your child's teacher(s) and find times that work for you. If you are unable to find times that work for you, please contact your child's teacher. Children who share time in more than one home may have more than one conference, or parents may collaborate to schedule one conference for their shared child, whichever works best for your situation. Here is the link to schedule your conferences: https://ptcfast.com/schools/Bob_Callies_Elementary_School We hope to see you Oct. 10! High School Conferences will be held at the High School building during the same time, and elementary conferences at the elementary school building.
