Good Morning, like most of our neighboring schools, the Mahnomen School District has recently seen a rapid increase of positive COVID cases and close contacts. Due to this evolving situation the school board passed a mask requirement that will begin next Monday, September 20 for all students, staff and visitors while indoors.
Since the start of school we have had 17% of our student population affected by absences due to first contacts or positive cases. We need our students to be in school. Masks will reduce the number of students absent. The masking requirement will be reviewed every 2-weeks.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these challenging times.
Happy Thursday! Here are the T-Bird weekly activities AND tailgate information for this week.

A message from our friends at Norman-Mahnomen Public Health; School is just around the corner and our goal is to be as “normal” as allowed. One way to make that happen for your student is vaccinating them if they are old enough. Vaccinated individuals are not expected to quarantine the 14 days if identified as a close contact of a positive.
With the Delta variant making its way across the United States, our goal at public health is to help everyone get vaccinated if
they choose to be.
If a student is participating in fall sports, the risk of exposure is higher. By getting vaccinated, if a student is identified as a close contact of a positive, they would still be able to continue to participate
without having to quarantine unless symptoms developed.
Norman Mahnomen Public Health will be offering a Pfizer Clinic on August 6th.
Please call Norman Mahnomen Public Health to schedule your vaccine- 218-935-3319 or 218-784-5425.
Our pool is now closed until September! Thanks for a great summer & see you again soon!
