Fall Fun Day just got more fun! John Scanson was at it again, this time creating rocking chairs for the Midkota Preschool thru 3rd grade students. Parents should plan to pick up chairs at their earliest convenience as they are too heavy and bulky to take on the bus. If possible, they will be available at the Fire Hall starting at 2:00 PM tomorrow! Otherwise, please make arrangements with the office.
Seniors and Parents! A Message from BND and Mrs. Brandt:
Join us tonight at 7 p.m. CT for the next Career Discovery Webinar with Catherine Mueller, executive director of Mapping Your Future.
Although the future may seem uncertain right now, completing the FAFSA is one way students can keep their options open. Students considering attending college in the fall of 2021 need to complete the 2021-22 FAFSA to apply for federal financial aid, as well as some state and institutional aid. In this webinar, students and parents will receive an introduction to the FAFSA and have their FAFSA questions answered.
If you are unable to attend, please register for the webinar to have access to the material later.
Career Compass is a one-stop location to access virtual college fairs, presentations about financial literacy, career preparation and College Application Month, along with Bank of North Dakota’s College Handbook. It is brought to you by Bank of North Dakota and Dakota Association for College Admission Counseling - North Dakota Council (DACAC).

GREAT news Midkota! We are excited to report that as of today (Oct. 8), our school buildings will be back at COVID risk level Green A. This means that mask use will once again be optional for our students and staff. Anyone who still wishes to continue to mask is welcome to do so. We want to thank you for your commitment to following our COVID guidelines while we had positive cases within our district. It is because of your support that we are able to resume our level Green A protocol. Great job Midkota!

Titan fans, thank you in advance for abiding by the opposing school's guidelines.
Titan fans and athletes, when we are visiting another school district, we are required to follow their health and safety policies. If they require masks in their buildings, we must wear masks. During this pandemic, schools do not have to allow us into their buildings to watch our athletes. Right now it is a privilege we are grateful to have, and we ask that you represent Griggs-Midkota in a manner with which we can be proud.
Midkota Community:
Many times there are questions or concerns that may arise from a parent or student. If a student is having a problem that needs attention, whether it be with studies, other children, or staff, there is a standard process for addressing the problem. Problems are best solved as close to the source as possible. With that in mind, we ask the following:
· It is suggested that you discuss your concerns first with your child.
· If further communication is necessary, visit with your child’s teacher.
· If satisfaction is not reached at this level, a visit with the principal or a letter is welcome.
· After a visit to the principal, if the situation warrants further discussion, a visit with the superintendent would be appropriate.
· The board members are to be contacted only after the teacher, principal, and superintendent have been approached and still no solution has been reached.
