This week, #NorthsideStJ ELD classes celebrated the end of ACCESS Testing! What a fun way to celebrate the students' hard work.
Saints Family,
The School District has heard about and been asked about rumors of a weapon, specifically a gun, found in a locker at the middle/high school school. This is a false statement. We occasionally work with the Watonwan Sheriff's Office to have their dog search the school as a safety measure and a practice tool for the dog. These searches are random and unannounced in order to help make sure our school is as safe as we can make it on a daily basis.
If a weapon or major drugs were to be found, a press release, such as this, would be provided in order to help the school district stay transparent and allow families and community members the opportunity to work with the school district to keep our school district and community a safe and welcoming environment.
In Saints pride,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendent
Familia de los Santos,
El Distrito Escolar ha escuchado y ha sido preguntado sobre rumores de un arma, específicamente una pistola, encontrada en un casillero en la escuela intermedia/secundaria. Esta es una declaración falsa. Ocasionalmente trabajamos con la Oficina del Sheriff de Watonwan para que el perro registre la escuela como medida de seguridad y herramienta de práctica para el perro. Estas búsquedas son aleatorias y sin previo aviso para ayudar a garantizar que nuestra escuela sea lo más segura posible a diario.
Si se encontrara una arma o drogas importantes, se proporcionaría un comunicado de prensa, como este, para ayudar al distrito escolar a mantenerse transparente y permitir a las familias y miembros de la comunidad la oportunidad de trabajar con el distrito escolar para mantener nuestro distrito escolar y la comunidad un ambiente seguro y acogedor.
Con orgullo santos,
Dr. Steven Heil, Superintendente

#NorthsideStJ G3 Students were visited by the Exploradome from the Bell Museum. Students took part in two shows, as well as explored moon phases and created space origami. What a great connection to their literacy module about space.
