7th Grade Parents! Scrubbs Camp at WSC is one week away!
Please have your student to the High School for a 7:45 AM departure on Wednesday, April 1st. The bus will arrive around 7:35 AM for loading.
The bus is expected to return to the High School at approximately 3:45 PM. Please make transportation arrangements accordingly.
Lunch and a T-shirt will be provided, so you do not need to send money. This is a great opportunity for students to explore healthcare careers in a fun, hands on learning environment with other 7th grade students from across the state.
We expect all students to be on their best behavior as they represent Divide County as a school and community, and all school rules and policies will be enforced. Should any behavioral issues occur, parents will be called and will be responsible for picking up their child directly from the college. Let's make it a fun day!
Please reach out with any questions or concerns! lindy.nygaard@k12.nd.us
Join us for a fun night of literacy!

With March Madness taking over the basketball world, Mrs. Ator’s 3rd graders brought the excitement right into the classroom with Math Madness!
Students worked in teams solving addition and subtraction problems using place value strategies. Every correct answer earned their team a trip to the free throw line where they could shoot for extra points! 🏀
The room was full of teamwork, strategy, cheering, and some clutch shots as students practiced their math skills in a fun, competitive way. It was a great reminder that learning can be just as exciting as game day!
Great job to our 3rd graders for bringing their A-game in math and basketball today! 🏆📚🏀

The golf season is right around the corner and we’re getting excited to hit the course this April! More information about practice schedules, meets, and important dates will be shared soon, so stay tuned.
Reminder from Mr. Loper:
All athletes planning to participate in golf must have a current sports physical on file before the season begins. Please make sure your physical is turned in to the High School office as soon as possible so you’re cleared and ready to compete.
We can’t wait to see our golfers back on the course representing our school this spring. Get ready for a great season! ⛳🏌️♂️🏌️♀️

Upcoming NDSU course for parents (Free, Online)
Today we started building the foundation for our upcoming opinion writing project. Our final goal over the next couple of weeks will be for students to write a 1–2 paragraph opinion piece, but we are taking it step by step and focusing on one skill at a time.
Today’s learning target was understanding the difference between facts and opinions.
Students worked together in small groups to sort sentences into fact or opinion. This led to great discussions as students explained why they thought a sentence was a fact or an opinion and listened to their classmates’ reasoning.
To wrap up the lesson, students completed an exit ticket where they wrote:
✏️ One fact sentence
✏️ One opinion sentence
This small step helps students build the skills they need to support their ideas when we begin writing full opinion paragraphs.
Great thinking and teamwork today!
