How about a shout out for that kitchen crew today? THANK YOU very much ladies!
Central Parents, reminder that attendance is being taken daily by your classroom teacher. Students must check in daily with them. The State still mandates us to take attendance and it counts on your child's daily attendance. Let teacher know that they are doing their work daily, by giving them a quick text or have them login and do an assignment. It doesn't have to be just between 9am to 3pm, it might be they read a book at night, do a PE activity or an assignment at night. If you are having a tough time checking in daily contact classroom teacher or contact Mr. Schaffer 701-664-3441 or tim.schaffer@k12.nd.us
For those that may be looking for summer employment opportunities.
Medora is more than a summer job – it’s a summer experience! Of course, you’ll make some summer cash, but you’ll also learn skills you’ll use the rest of your life, pick up tips from the pros from inside of the hospitality and entertainment industry, and experience the amazing connection to history, culture, and the outdoors that comes from the rugged North Dakota Badlands.
You’ll have a truly amazing experience off the clock, too. You’ll be steps from Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the Little Missouri River, and Maah Daah Hey Trail, and you’ll get to experience the Medora Musical, Bully Pulpit Golf course, Teddy Roosevelt Show and so many more activities for free or at a discounted rate!
Almost every primary job gets the opportunity to earn overtime working at the world-famous Medora Musical; we give away approximately $30,000 in student scholarships each summer ranging from $500 to $1,500; and, right now, if you refer your friends to come work with you, you can earn up to a $300 referral bonus!
Many of our former summer staff have told us the same thing: their summer in Medora was the #BestSummerOfMyLife. Start the best summer of your life now.

There is NO SCHOOL on Friday, April 10, and Monday, April 13 for Easter break. We strongly encourage you to take time off from school those days. Grab lunches for Thursday, Friday, and Monday will be given on Thursday so the cooks can enjoy 2 days off! We start again on Tuesday, April 14. Thanks to everyone for all you are doing! Stay home. Stay well.
The Great Plains Food Bank will be stopping in Tioga and Williston on Tuesday, April 14! See flyer for times and locations!
The Great Plains Food Bank is committed to doing all we can to provide needed food assistance amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This includes continuing with our Mobile Food Pantries as scheduled. We know there are additional people in need of food assistance during this time and the Mobile Food Pantry is open to anyone in need of food assistance from any community. The distribution will consist of fruits, and veggies, but may include bakery, dairy and meat items. Clients are asked to stay in their vehicles at all times to avoid gathering of groups and Great Plains Food Bank staff will be asking basic intake questions onsite. We welcome those who cannot attend during the distribution to designate someone to pick up for them and are happy to serve those not in a vehicle.
Hunger is an issue that we can do something about. Here are several ways you can help:
· Post the attached flyer about this upcoming event in your office and in other places in your community.
· VOLUNTEER!! Call Rachel at 701.390.2513 or email rmonge@greatplainsfoodbank.org to sign up today!
· Talk about the event with your groups and in meetings you attend.
· Share on your social media networks. See EVENTS on Facebook @greatplainsfoodbank.
Prom and Graduation has, with good reason, been a often asked question. We know at this point that Prom will not be held on April 18th. We do plan to host a Prom for the 19-20 school year! We just cannot set a date without knowing when we will be able to be back in the building. If we can do it in May, we will. If it has to be pushed out into the summer, we will do that. Prom may have to be modified, but we will get something put together.
GRADUATION - THS Class of 2020 is still scheduled for Graduation exercises on May, 24th. While we are hopeful this will happen, we may have to make alternate plans as we learn more about when we are able to get back to the building. Rest assured, similar to Prom, and more importantly, we will have a graduation ceremony. It too, may have to be slightly modified, but we will honor the Class of 2020.

Just a reminder-The North Dakota Dept of Health is asking schools to send out a reminder about our responsibility as citizens. We've heard this dozens of times, but it bears repeating:
It is critical for you to take preventive action for your health and for the community:
*Wash your hands frequently with soap. No soap-use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content.
*Avoid touching your T-zone (eyes, nose, mouth)
*Practice social distancing. Avoid groups with more than 10 people. Use drive-though, pickup, or delivery.
*Work from home when possible.
*Stay home if you are sick.
*Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw it in the trash and wash your hands. No tissue-cough or sneeze in your elbow.
*Clean and disinfect frequently touch objects and surfaces.
*Stay away from individuals who are sick. Stay 6 feet away from others as much as possible.
Please, please, please follow these recommendations for our community. Stay home. Stay well, and thank you.
Central Elementary is closing the playground effective immediately. Please do not send children to the playground, we cannot guarantee that they are germ-free, nor could we gatherings to ensure compliance with guidelines. We will have signs to stay off until further notice and hope this serves as a reminder to stick to outdoor activites that don't involve surfaces that can spread the virus. We still encourage our students to be active...Thanks
