We’ve had a great first two days of school, and we want to continue that positive start throughout the year!
On the photo, you’ll see:
Pink Area – Drop-Off Only: This area is for you to drive up, drop off your child, and then drive away. If you need to come into the school, please park in a designated spot and enter through the main office doors. Keeping this area clear helps traffic move smoothly and ensures safety for all students.
Yellow Area (Main Street) – Pick-Up Parking: This is diagonal parking. I’ve visited with the City, and they are considering painting stripes to help make parking clearer.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
Please park your vehicle in a designated spot. Do not stop or wait in the middle of the road.
The front of Central (Benson Street) is a drop-off zone only. Parking is not permitted where signs are posted during the times indicated (8:00–8:45 AM and 3:15–3:45 PM). During 8:45-3:15 you may park in this area to come in the school.
For safety, please avoid making U-turns in front of Central during drop-off and pick-up times, as these are our busiest traffic periods.
Thank you for your cooperation, and as always, if you have any questions, please stop in to visit!

The 2024-2025 Yearbooks are on sale for $45. Please stop at the High School front office if you wish to purchase one.
The High School southwest parking lot WILL be available beginning Mon., Aug. 18th. All students should park in this lot rather than Linda St. or Willard Blvd. The entrance is off of 105th Ave. on the west side of the school. Door #4 by the Band and Ag. classrooms will be the door to access. Please do not park in the spaces up to the building as this will be the bus loading and unloading zone until the Linda St. parking lot (front of the school) is completed.

Hello Tioga High School parents and guardians and welcome to a new school year!
I am asking each high school student in Art classes I-IV to obtain their own basic supplies, store them in their locker throughout the year, and transport them to and from class each day. My intent is to promote both responsible use of materials and forward-thinking in terms of preparedness.
Students will receive the following list in class and we will discuss the different brush and palette options. If you are in favor of your art student using their own personal supplies, please refer to the list below. Tioga Drug and Dollar General have some art supplies, but if you’re looking for a one-stop-shop with decent prices, Wal-Mart or Amazon are more likely to do the trick. Hobby Lobby in Minot is of course another option. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at Tiffany.Boyer@k12.nd.us. Thanks in advance for your help!
SUPPLY LIST for Art I-IV
- 5 or 6 synthetic brushes, assorted tips/sizes - Taklon is a good choice.
--- A good mix would be ---
~ 3 round - from sizes 1, 2, 6, 8, 10, or 12
~ 1 liner - size 1 or 2 (if getting a size 1 liner, I’d start with a size 2 round)
~ 1 flat wash - ¾” or 1”
~ 1 angled shader - ½” (if adding a 6th brush)
- Palette with lid (optional, but necessary if wanting to store paint from day to day) ***A small/medium sized Ziploc food storage container that has a good seal would work well for this!
- Sketchbook OR folder
- #2 Pencils
- Fine Point Sharpie
- Extra-fine Point Sharpie
- Storage bag or container for materials
- School-issued Chromebook (students will need this every day, charged or w/ charger)
*Some of these materials will of course be provided to students as needed. Other materials will be available for students to sign out, with no fee, provided students return signed-out materials in good, reasonable condition by the end of the school year. Students will be held financially responsible for lost or damaged materials.

I often get asked about Tioga Pirate football gear or general Pirate apparel. Game One has two online stores open—one for Pirate gear and one specifically for Tioga Pirate football. You can order and pay online, and everything ships directly to you. Orders are shipped 18 hours after being placed. Both shops are open 24/7 all year long!
