We are getting excited for the 2026 - 2027 school year and the first day of school on Thursday, August 20, 2026. Over the next month, we will be sharing information via email, website, and social media, helping you prepare for the beginning of the school year.
School Registration: Change from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus
The state has required all k-12 public schools in ND to implement a new student information system that will move us from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus (IC). Because of this change, we are going to be opening school registration earlier to allow more time for you to complete this process. Beginning on Monday, July 20th, we will be sharing step-by-step information on IC to assist you in completing school registration for your students. There will be a helpline setup to assist parents/families as needed.

Please see the attached Construction Progress Report for the new school and Hanna Field, along with the temporary 12th Street Road Closure Plan between 2nd and 5th Avenue NE.
Thank you in advance for your patience, understanding, and support as construction continues.
We know there have been questions and comments regarding an auditorium. At the end of May, we formed an advisory committee consisting of school and community representatives to explore the possibility of adding an auditorium to the new school, while we continue to follow the district facility report, which was shared at the June 22 School Board meeting. We will share more information in the coming months as the committee continues to explore the district's needs, including possible concepts, costs, locations, and funding options.
If you have any questions before then, please don't hesitate to contact the District Office.
We are excited to continue sharing updates every couple of weeks as Phase I of the School Facility Project 2028 progresses.
If you have any questions, please contact the District Office at 701-845-0483.
