📱 School Mode not turning on or off? There’s an easy fix!
Sometimes your phone may put The Commons app to sleep in the background to save battery life. If School Mode doesn’t update when you expect it to, just:
Open the app → Pull down to refresh → Done! ✅
A couple of quick reminders:
🔔 Check for the School Mode ON message each morning.
🌙 Check for the School Mode OFF message each afternoon.
📲 If you don’t receive the message, simply open The Commons app to reset it.
A quick refresh can help keep everything working just as it should. 💙

Hey sports fans!! Did you know you can buy your tickets for your favorite Thunderbird sports right online? You can purchase one game at a time or buy a season pass for our home games. Cash will still be accepted at games as well.
We had a great first day back for the 2026 - 2027 school year. It was good to see all the smiling faces getting off the buses and being dropped off this morning. We want to share a little info about The Commons app that we will be using to help enforce our cell phone policy this school year. Students have downloaded an app on their phones called The Commons, this will put their phone in an airplane mode limiting distractions during the day while at school. If you have any questions please reach out to the school and we are happy to answer them for you. Also the Stopfinder app for busing has been giving some people some troubles. Please know we are working on getting it fixed and invite emails sent out again. If you have questions please email Kayla.nelson@mahnomen.k12.mn.us with your questions and we will get them addressed. Thank you all for being understanding.

8th-grade volleyball had team-building. The girls had to take turns taking their socks and shoes off without spilling the water. Then, each girl had to write something positive about each of their teammates and place it in the buckets that they decorated.
Just 2 DAYS!
The backpacks are packed, the first-day outfits are being picked out, and alarms are about to become part of our lives again. 😄⏰
Enjoy these last couple days of summer — we are almost there!
