All,
Buses will run this afternoon where possible. If you road is plugged with snow, please contact the school or driver to make arrangements for the drop off of your children.
Thank you.

Due to deteriorating weather conditions, school will dismiss at 2:30 to ensure all students and staff can get home safely while it’s still light out. The school board meeting tonight will continue as planned, but all other activities are canceled.
Thank you and stay safe.

Due to the high winds causing limited visibility and now snow drifts filling in gravel roads, we will NOT be running buses this afternoon. Any rural family who would choose to get their children early will be excused for the day. If this weather continues as the forecast indicates, we most likely not run buses tomorrow morning too. Another alert will be sent tonight to confirm this if it’s necessary.

I attempted to do my normal scenic route and let’s just say I made it about a half mile until I came across a snow drift as tall as my hood on my pickup (no, I didn’t attempt to drive through it). Nonetheless, we will not be running buses in the morning. School will start at 10:30 with staff reporting at 10:00.
Have a safe and enjoyable 3 day weekend! School resumes on Tuesday!

We did not get much snow last night, but it appears (via my windshield) it’s starting to sprinkle. In town roads are good along with gravel roads; however, the highways are starting to get somewhat slippery. Nonetheless, sanding trucks are heading out. Please allow for extra time in your travels this morning. Have a great day!
Fourth graders have been busy!
Mrs. C Gehring's class built STEM snowmen practicing measuring, radius, and diameter!
Mrs. K Gehring/Miss Kolden’s 4th Graders built and decorated pop tart houses!

Effective for the next football season, grades 7-12 will be combined with Velva. Both boards passed this unanimously with all feeling this is a tremendous opportunity for our players. Additionally, the Varsity season opener against Hazen will be played in Garrison. There will be additional information to come regarding logistics. Lastly, we are also in need of a coach from Garrison. If you’re interested, please let Mr. Ermer or myself know. Thank you.
Our students are enjoying a nice outdoor recess in snowy North Dakota!
Congratulations to Nate K! He has met all of the 6th grade Dreambox math standards! Way to go!
Today is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, especially our own Deputy Dave Kamp! Please show your appreciation to all those who keep our communities safe.

Our students, staff, and community generally takes great pride in our buildings. However, after the last few home basketball games we’ve found everything from sour cream to wads of chewing tobacco and spit in the bleachers. Not to mention the empty beer cans in the bathroom. Consequently, we do understand some of these things may have come from our opponents. I’m asking all to do their part in helping keep our buildings looking clean by throwing any and all purchased items in one of the many trash receptacles throughout the gym. I would also remind you we are a tobacco and alcohol free campus. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Trooper Boys will be playing in the McLean County Shootout on Friday and Saturday in Washburn.

Good Morning Trooper Fans! Tomorrow the Girls AND Boys Basketball Teams will play in Garrison against Wilton-Wing. Starting at 3, the JV Boys will play. 4:30 JV Girls, 6 Varsity Boys, and 7:30 Varsity Girls. BEK will also be here to Broadcast.
The Boy's Basketball game that was scheduled for this evening has been canceled due to weather conditions. A makeup date will be scheduled, more information to come soon.
The draft calendar for next school year is attached based on input from staff. Please submit all feedback to Dr. K at nick.klemisch@k12.nd.us by January 10, 2022 for him to share with the school board.
Happy New Year! Reminder of no school Monday for staff development. School resumes Tuesday for students. Elementary students are having pajama day Tuesday.
