📣 4-Day School Week Update: No Decision Has Been Made
We've heard there are some questions and concerns, so we wanted to provide a quick update.
✅ No decision has been made.
✅ Nothing will change for the 2026-27 school year.
At this point, we are simply exploring whether a 4-day school week is something Mahnomen Public Schools should consider in the future.
Over the course of this school year, we will:
🔹 Share research and information
🔹 Answer questions
🔹 Gather feedback from staff, families, students, and the community
🔹 Keep the process open and transparent
If a recommendation were ever made to move to a 4-day week, it would not take effect until the 2027-28 school year at the earliest.
We appreciate everyone taking the time to learn, ask questions, and share their perspectives. We'll continue to keep our community informed every step of the way.

Dear Mahnomen Public School Community,
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Trey Beauchamp, a freshman at Mahnomen Public School.
Trey entered 9th grade at Mahnomen High School last fall. During football season, he began experiencing health concerns that led to further testing and a diagnosis of metastatic Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive form of cancer. Despite the difficult challenges he faced, Trey never lost his sense of hope, determination, or his wonderful sense of humor. He was known for his positive attitude, warm smile, and the strength he showed throughout his journey.
Trey deeply appreciated the visits, messages, and support he received from classmates, staff, friends, and community members. His courage and resilience touched the lives of many, and he will be greatly missed.
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Trey’s family, friends, classmates, and teachers during this difficult time.
Support is available for anyone who may need it:
White Earth Mental Health: 218-983-6325
Alluma: 218-281-3940
White Earth Crisis Line: 218-850-4357
American Indian Education Staff: 218-935-2211 ext. 248
As a school community, we will continue to support one another and honor Trey’s memory.
