DCSD Parents:
We understand that families are anxious to hear what school may look like this year. While final decisions are still in the planning stages, we can tell you that as long as we remain in the Green Risk Level, it is likely that school will begin in our buildings with various restrictions at both buildings. DCSD will also offer a K-12 online learning option for children or families at higher risk. More details regarding restrictions, online options, and other details of the back-to-school plan will be made available as soon as plans are finalized. Divide County School District takes the health and safety of our students, staff, and community very seriously and appreciates your feedback and patience as we prepare for our upcoming school year. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

While we have started the process of planning for different scenarios, we are waiting for the Governor's guidance that should be available to all ND schools in mid-July. Until that time, we are unable to confirm any plans. In the meantime, we can share the 2020-21 DCSD school calendar. Please keep in mind that this calendar is subject to change due to COVID-19 circumstances. Also, the early-dismissal dates have not all been confirmed and may change slightly.

NDHSAA states that an annual NDHSAA approved Athletic Pre-Participation Health History Screening and Physical Examination clearance form complete by a qualified health care professional must be completed prior to participation in physical activities. If you have questions please contact your coach or call Mr. Harding. Thanks.
