The senior class traveled to Bismarck today to compete in the We The People state competition. Our students were questioned on their presentations involving the 4th Amendment, privacy, the Albany Plan of 1754, our nation's beginnings and more. Although as a class we came up short of the overall team title, they preformed exceptionally well. Congratulations to Kidder County for winning the team competition and good luck to them as they will be representing North Dakota in Washington D.C. this spring.

This morning at Tioga High School, we did have a soft lockdown DRILL take place. Students were in classrooms with doors locked and no hallway traffic with instruction continuing while a Williams County Sheriff's Office K-9 team had a training run through the high school. Thank you to all students and staff for their cooperation and for the K9 team for coming out.

The DRILL has completed.

Our school has been selected to participate in the NAEP (National Assessment of Education Progress), also known as The Nations Report Card. This selection is for our 8th graders only, and will take place on January 26, 2026. Please see the attached information for details.

NAEP 2026 PARENT-GUARDIAN NOTIFICATION LETTER Grades 4, 8, and 12 Civics, Mathematics, Reading, or U.S. History Monday, January 5, 2026 Dear Parent or Guardian: Tioga High School will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Monday, January 26, 2026. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a common measure of achievement across the country. Your child will/may take a mathematics or reading assessment. In addition to subject-area questions, students voluntarily complete NAEP survey questions. These questions provide valuable information about participating students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and outside of the classroom. More information about NAEP survey questions is available at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/parents under the section “Survey Questionnaires & Your Student: What You Need to Know.” The assessment takes about 120 minutes for most students, which includes transition time, directions, and completion of survey questions. The information collected is used for statistical purposes only. Your child’s grades will not be affected. Students may be excused for any reason, are not required to complete the assessment, and may skip any question. While the assessment is voluntary, NAEP depends on student participation to help policymakers improve education. If you do not want your child to participate, please notify me in writing by Monday, January 12, 2026. There is no need to study in preparation for NAEP, but please encourage your child to do their best. Contact Kerissa Schaffer at 701-664-3606 or at Kerissa.Schaffer@k12.nd.us if you have any questions. We are excited that our school is participating in NAEP. We know that Tioga High School’s students will show what our nation’s students know and can do. Sincerely, Brodie Odegaard The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) conducts the National Assessment of Educational Progress to evaluate federally supported education programs. All of the information you provide may only be used for the purposes of research, statistics, and evaluation under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA; 20 U.S.C. § 9543) and may not be disclosed, our used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law. Every NCES employee as well as every NCES agent, such as contractors and NAEP coordinators, has taken an oath and is subject to a jail term of up to 5 years, a fine of $250,000, or both if he or she willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you.

Some students in Art II-IV visited Long Term Care on Monday to surprise the residents with a few new decorations for their windows. Thanks to Tioga Medical Center for reaching out to arrange this!

Then yesterday, students in Art I-III spent the class period painting windows for our public transportation. A fun time was had by (almost) all, and thankfully we did not have our paint freezing this year! Thanks to Wildrose Public Transport for working with me to set this up!

Happy Holidays!

School will be two hours late today (Thursday, December 18, 2025) and breakfast will not be served. Due to the icy roads in the countryside, school buses will not run. Parents may choose to transport their children if they are able to do so. We understand this may be inconvenient for families, but we want to ensure the safety of our bus drivers and students. Students who are unable to attend due to the road conditions will be excused and the absence will not count against them. However, they must complete all assigned work from the day. Please use your best judgment for your family’s safety.

As we prepare to move from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus next year, we’re asking families to review the contact information we have on file, make any needed updates, and return the sheet to the school office (or scan & email it in).

High school families will receive theirs when report cards are sent out in January.
