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.
Dear Families of Mahnomen Public School
Governor Walz recently authorized schools to implement Distance Learning Plans starting Monday, March 30th through May 4th. Please use this web link https://5il.co/e77u to view the full Mahnomen School District’s Distance Learning Plan. This information will also be mailed to all families for those without Internet connectivity.
Distance Learning Packets will be sent out weekly on Mondays and picked up on Thursdays. Both will be in conjunction with the school’s meal delivery, via bus route, which will continue 5-days per week. Students are responsible to come out and meet the bus. The school has taken steps to ensure safety and all Packets will be quarantined for a minimum of 3-days prior to leaving the school and after they are returned.
Packets will be graded and accepted up to one week late. Teachers will be available 8:30 am to 3:15 pm daily via email and phone to answer questions and assist students with their work. Teacher contact information is included in the educational packet materials. Teachers will also call students every day to check in on progress and record attendance. Additional information from specific programs and student services may also be included in the Packets.
Distance Learning has some student expectations:
Students will be expected to meet the bus to pick up their packets on Monday of every week and again on Thursdays to return the completed packet. This is no different than meeting the bus to go to school.
Students will be expected to contact their teachers if they do not understand the material or need help or guidance in any way.
Daily attendance will be based on daily teacher to student contact and completed assignments.
Students are expected to complete work and return it for grading credit.
School staff would like to thank you for working with us during this time. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions. Please remember to view our school webpage and media outlets for information and announcements.
School families if you called and requested meals delivered to your home bus stop please come out and get your meals so we don't have to throw them out when we return to school. We are experiencing high numbers of no shows during our deliveries.
A reminder to families that the school is delivering free meals to children during the school closure via bus route stops. Per regulations for meal delivery the child must be visibly present to receive meals through the school lunch program. Also for the safety of school staff that are delivering the meals children must come out and get a meal at the bus stop. If you would like your child to receive meal services please call 218-936-5857. Thank you.
Students and Families,
Just some update information for you as we move forward. Teachers are working to put a plan together for distance learning if needed after March 27th. Before the end of next week we will share the plan with students including: how student will receive learning materials, the expectations we have for student and how attendance will be tracked. Thank you.
Please see this letter regarding COVID-19 from the school nursing staff at Norman-Mahnomen Public Health! Find this and other closure related documents here:
http://mahnomenmn.apptegy.us/o/mahnomen-isd-432/browse/112431
Reminder: If a meal was requested for your child(ren), that child(ren) must be present when the meal is delivered! Our busses are departing for deliveries soon!
If your child(ren) walk to school, Door #2 will be open at 11:00 am for grab-n-go bag pickup!
Requested meal services start today. Please refer to the letter shared previously for more information. As processes develop, we ask that you complete the one-time Food Request Form also sent with today's meals. http://mahnomenmn.apptegy.us/o/mahnomen-isd-432/browse/112431
Reminder there is no school starting tomorrow, March 18th through March 27th. During this planning time there will not be any educational assignments sent home.
If students want to receive the breakfast & lunch meal please call 218-936-5857 between 8:00-9:30 AM and request this option. Meals will be delivered by bus route after 11:00 AM. Thank you
Please see this note regarding meals during the school closure, thank you!
Please note that the Pool will also be closed until March 30th. Thank you!
With the closure of school starting March 18th a priority of the school is that our students continue to receive nutritious meals.
If you would like your school age student to receive a daily breakfast and lunch starting Wednesday please call 218-936-5857 between 8:00-9:30 AM each day to request the meal service.
The plan is to deliver these student meals using the school bus routes with buses leaving around 11:00 AM daily. Please plan to have someone available to meet the bus and pickup the breakfast and lunch.
If your child walks to school they can come to Door #2 at 11:00 AM and pickup a grab-n-go meal.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate these new challenges.
Reminder that all after school activities and events have been cancelled through March 29th.
Parents & Guardians,
Here is a copy of our COVID-19 letter (in a photo format) containing the same information shared previously regarding the District's plan for the upcoming week and school closure.
Dear ISD 432 Families: Today, Governor Tim Walz and Education Commissioner Mary Cathryn Ricker announced that all Minnesota public schools will close to students starting Wednesday, March 18, 2020 with the plan to resume instruction on Monday, March 30, 2020. Mahnomen Schools will be in operation Monday and Tuesday, March 16 and 17.
This closure is to give staff time to plan for providing educational services in the event of a longer school closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will also be using the time to deep clean the school and buses.
IF you are a member of the emergency services profession (law enforcement, fire department, EMTs, etc.) and/or the medical profession (direct care staff) that has elementary school aged children and do not have child care options, please contact the school Monday or Tuesday, May 16 and 17. We will make arrangements to provide supervision for your children during what would be regular school hours.
In addition, all after-school programs, extra-curricular activities, community ed, and school events through March 30th have been cancelled.
Please remember the basics for prevention:
thorough and frequent hand washing,
covering sneezes and coughs,
cleaning frequently touched surfaces,
practicing social distancing (maintain a 3 – 6 foot separation between you and others) and
staying away from large gatherings of people.
If your child is feeling ill and has flu-like symptoms please keep them home from school.
As more information is made available, we will post on our website, on Facebook and through the School’s App. Please keep the school updated with current phone number and address to receive updated information.
Thank you,
Jeff Bisek, Superintendent

Congratulations to the May 2019 Elementary Students of the Month!
Last day of school. Enjoy the summer.
Law Enforcement has conducted their investigation on the previous threat and at this point found nothing creditable. The soft lock-down status at the school has been lifted. We will continue to monitor the safety of school grounds. Thank you for you cooperation.
As a precaution the school will start the day in a soft lock-down. During the night the hospital received a phone threat of violence. Law enforcement is investigating the situation and its credibility. There will be extra law enforcement presence around the school/hospital area as well.
Soft Lock-down means the exterior doors and interior doors will be locked throughout the day and outside activities limited. Thank you for your patience.
Congratulations to the MHS Class of 2019! Wishing you success in your future.
Congratulations to the Thunderbird Softball and Baseball Teams on their victories yesterday in the Sub-Section Tournament! Both teams advance to the next round and will play on Tuesday, May 28th. Baseball plays at 10:00 @ BSU and Softball plays at 4:00 @ Baudette.
