Yesterday some responsible HS students shared some of their best organizational strategies with elementary students! Thank you to Camrynn Knorr, TJ Syvertson, and Gavin Ruud for giving your time and info to our students!
All,
Based on the current forecast of 400 mph winds accompanied by several inches of snow creating near zero visibility paired with the freezing rain I just drove bus through, I have decided we will not have school on Thursday. I hope this affords you all ample opportunity to make the appropriate arrangements. Have a safe and enjoyable 4-day weekend.
All,
My apologies for the late notice but there were many variables that went into this decision. We will be dismissing school at 2:00 pm tomorrow, Wednesday. Buses will run at this time too. This will accommodate the many students who will be absent tomorrow afternoon due activities along with allow staff to attend staff these events. We appreciate everyone’s willingness to be flexible.
All,
With the impending weather forecast, the NDHSAA has given us permission to change the championship date of the Region 5 volleyball tournament.
With the approval received from the administration of the remaining four schools involved in the tournament, we will be changing the final night of the tournament to the afternoon of Wednesday, November 9. We will be starting with the third and fourth place match at 2:00 central that day. Doors will open at 1:00 central.
We will be having the awards ceremony following the championship match, honoring the all-region players and the awarding of the four regional plaques to the respective teams.
New Salem-Almont will be holding school that day, so we ask that all teams and fans stay in the gymnasium and commons (concessions) area. We will also be leaving with our football team early that afternoon, but this should not be a problem in the gym area.
Here’s the fan bus sign up for the regional volleyball game tomorrow in New Salem. We will leave school at 3:15. Please also make sure riders have a winter coat.

We had a special event with some special visitors today at the High School. Gavin R had his swearing in ceremony into the National Guard. Gavin will leave on June 7 and be gone all summer. Congratulations Gavin and we are all so proud of you.
All,
I’ve decided to do a fan bus to Fargo for the football game Friday. Please read the description as we need at least 20 going or we will not take the bus. It will leave from the high school at 4:30 am Friday morning.

The first round of regional volleyball begins for our girls at 2:30 on Monday. We would like to do a fan bus, but given the time of the game there’s an extra layer of permission needed. Any parent who’d like their child in grades 6-12 to ride the bus MUST email Dr. K. at nick.klemisch@k12.nd.us or send a note to the school by Monday morning at 8:30. No phone calls will be accepted for this. We will leave at 12:35 from the high school and pick up sixth graders shortly thereafter.
Thank you.
Dr. K.
All,
We are doing a candy collection for the Ronald McDonald House. My kids received way too much and I believe this will be a good cause for families who need these services. We will be collecting at both schools until Monday. The candy will then be transported to the main house in Minneapolis on Wednesday. Please put your donation in a grocery sack and drop off in the office of either school.
Thanks!
Dr. K.
