Good afternoon Seniors and Families,
I wanted to send an update on our graduation plans. First of all, I want to thank you for your patience. I understand the time constraints. This situation we are in has caused a lot of uncertainty and forced us to rethink how we can do a graduation ceremony. We want to do the best we can to celebrate our seniors and we have been working to develop plans within the state guidelines. Those changed as of Friday, and we will not be able to have our graduation either in the gym or on the football field. So, we will be having a drive-up type ceremony. It will be at 2:00 pm on the 24th, the same as our original date.
What we know right now is that the ceremony will be limited to one vehicle per senior. Seniors will ride in their vehicle with family members. They will line up at 1:30 in a designated order in the elementary school parking lot. The ceremony will begin at 2:00 and will be broadcast on KRJM. Speeches will be delivered followed by the handing out of diplomas. This will be done with each vehicle driving up to the reception area and the senior getting out to receive their diploma, have their picture taken, and get back in their vehicle. After all of the diplomas have been distributed, we will have a parade of seniors. The parade will follow emergency vehicles and will go through Main Street of Mahnomen, down highway 200, and drive through Naytahwaush to Pinehurst, where the parade will end.
In addition, we will be doing individual pre-recording of seniors with caps and gowns walking across the stage and receiving their diplomas. We will also record speeches. These recordings will be put together in a virtual type program that will be shared out electronically. In the event that we cannot hold the drive-up ceremony, this will be the substitute.
Guidance Counselor, Sheila Helgeson, will be contacting all seniors to schedule times for students to come in and get gowns, present speeches, and walk across the stage. This will all need to follow social distancing guidelines so each senior will receive a time slot to come in. Seniors will be able to take their caps and gowns after the recording for pictures at home and we are asking for them to be returned right after the ceremony on Sunday.
Sincerely, Mr. Hedstrom

Last week Governor Walz extended the school closure for the remainder of the 2019-20 School Year. As part of his executive order teachers are to use May 1st and May 4th as planning days for the continuation of Distance Learning. Meals and learning packets will continue to be delivered those days however, teachers will not be calling students those 2-days to check attendance. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Due to the extended school closure the MSHSL has canceled all spring sports and activities.
Today Governor Walz announced that schools will remain closed and Distance Learning will take place for the rest of the 2019-20 School Year. This is an unfortunate circumstance and we miss the daily face-to-face interactions with our students.
The school staff will continue to work with students and families to provide the best possible instruction for Distance Learning during this unprecedented time. Thank you for your cooperation and effort.
Mahnomen Elementary was unable to host the annual Math night but still gave away 10 hams, delivered to homes prior to our Spring/Easter Break! Now that we are well into the next week of Distance Learning, we hope everyone enjoyed their time! Check out some of our winners!
Reminder to Mahnomen School families that Friday and Monday are No School days due to spring break. There will be no delivery of meals or packets those days. Next week's packet will go out on Tuesday. We are still picking up completed packets tomorrow, Thursday, April 9th. Enjoy the break.
A quick evening message to our students: We Miss You!
Just a reminder that if you requested meals delivered that you please come out daily to the bus get them. After 2-days of not meeting the bus we will remove you from the meal delivery list. Thank you.
Parents and students,
Week-1 of Distance Learning is complete. Thank you to all of you that were able to complete your learning packet and return it. We have had a vary high rate of engagement with students and families. Week-2 packets will be delivered next Monday.
Reminder students to meet the Bus on Thursday to return the completed work you have done. Please return the assignments in the packet envelope you received Monday.
Also a reminder that April 10th and April 13th is spring break and no school days. There will be no meals or packets delivered those days.
