The ND A+ Summative Assessments for students in grades 3–6 will begin the week of March 30. This is North Dakota’s state assessment that helps measure student learning and growth throughout the year.

Supper will be served in the cafeteria, and Bismarck’s Gateway to Science will be here with 10 hands-on STEM stations for students to explore and have fun with.

Parent/Teacher Conferences – Tuesday, March 17, 2-8pm🔠
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held Tuesday, March 17 from 2:00–8:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, discuss progress, and ask any questions as we head into the final two months of the school year. All parents should have received their child’s designated conference time on a letter sent home last week. If you need to make a change, please call the school office and we will help make the adjustment.
