Friendly Reminder for Parents: As we wrap up the school year, please take a moment to check your child’s lunch account balance. Important Notes: 🥪Any remaining balance WILL transfer to next school year. 🍎If your child’s account is below $5, you will continue to receive automated phone calls over the summer until the balance is above that amount. 🫛If you are moving or leaving the district, please contact the Business Office regarding your lunch account. Thank you for staying on top of this—let’s head into summer with one less thing to worry about!

Today, our 6th graders took a travel day to Grand Forks! The day consisted of a delightful picnic lunch, enjoying the beautiful outdoors and each other's company. 🧺🌳 Then they put their problem-solving skills to the test at the Grand Forks Escape Room. Each room offered unique challenges, and our students showed teamwork, creativity, and determination. 🧠🔍 A huge thank you to the staff at Grand Forks Escape Room for providing such an engaging experience and to everyone that helped make this field trip happen!

Over the last several weeks our district has been asked by some residents why a gymnasium included in the referendum plan. This video captures all that happens over the course of a single day in Langdon Area Elementary School's current cafeteria/gymnasium. This room is the only place that can host physical education, breakfasts, lunches, performances and events at the elementary school. It is used practically non-stop during the school day, which requires constant cleaning, set up, tear down, and makes it very difficult to manage the schedule for its use. For example, when inclement weather requires indoor recess, the gym cannot be used because of lunches. Students instead return to their classrooms, which eliminates teachers' usual preparation time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C37ygyCmUQU During listening sessions held earlier this year to help develop the referendum plan, the lack of dedicated space for physical education and activities was the top concern identified by staff and community members. Our district decided it was vitally important to address this challenge in tandem with the completion of our biggest maintenance needs and included it in the referendum plan. Visit our dedicated referendum website for more details about what the referendum would accomplish if approved.

The Langdon Area School Board will host an open house on May 19th at 6:00 PM in the Langdon Area High School Study Hall. The event will include a presentation on the referendum and provide an opportunity for the community to ask questions. This will be prior to the regular monthly school board meeting

Why propose a referendum now - why not wait a few years? This is one of the most common questions we have received about the referendum on June 10. The primary reason is that our maintenance budget has struggled under the weight of needed repairs for several years now and can no longer address our most critically needed repairs, let alone investments in our spaces that could improve the learning environments for students. The longer these needs go unaddressed, the more likely it is that more money will need to be diverted from teaching and curriculum to pay for building upkeep. It is also within our best interest to complete updates as early as we responsibly can due rising construction costs and current uncertainty around the economy.

🐾🌿 2nd Grade Adventure! 🌿🐾 On Tuesday, our 2nd graders ventured to White Horse Hill National Game Preserve! 🚌✨ They explored lush forests, rolling prairies, and sparkling wetlands—all teeming with wildlife like bison, elk, prairie dogs, and a variety of birds. 🦬🦌🐦 Formerly known as Sullys Hill, this preserve was renamed in 2019 to honor the Dakota heritage of the Spirit Lake Tribe. A heartfelt THANK YOU to all who donated to make this enriching experience possible! 💖🌍
