Tioga School District

It is cold this morning, and our buses aren't happy about that! We're having some starting issues so the buses may be a few minutes late. PLEASE, MAKE your children DRESS WARM today, especially the bus kids. Long pants, hats, gloves, coats, etc. so if the buses stall, kids will stay a little warmer. Of course, we will go out and help, but it takes time to get to the bus, and we are taking precautions on our end just in case. Thank you!

As a point of clarification, when social distancing is not possible in the classroom, students may be asked to wear masks to include small group work in classrooms. Some questions have been raised concerning wrestling and basketball where students are not masked up. Extra-curricular activities aren't governed by school attendance laws, and therefore, are optional. The virus hasn't disappeared, and even though the mask mandate is lifted, we still need to follow the social distancing, hand washing, etc. guidelines. Contact tracing will now happen, too, if a student that attends school is positive and there is no social distancing or if both parties aren't wearing masks. The only change is masks are not mandated. Thank you.

After Governor Burgum's announcement that the executive order for the mask mandate has expired, masks will NOT be required during school. We still ask students and staff to social distance, wash hands, and take precautions when the 6 feet social distancing is not possible to maintain. Masks are optional at Tioga Schools starting Tuesday, January 19. Please continue to take precautions such as social distancing and handwashing, and let's work together to keep our kids in school and participating in sports and activities. Thanks to all that cooperated during the mask mandate. We should have information in the next few days as to how this affects fan attendance at activities.
