The Grenora staff and students want to extend our deepest sympathy to Tanner, Nichole, and all the family of Michael Koch! We are thinking of you all!
Good Afternoon Everyone:
Grenora Public School has been notified that we have a positive covid case in our building. All of the close contacts have been contacted and the school has taken extra cleaning precautions. The Mask Mandate the Govenor put into place on Saturday November 14, 2020 helped to reduce the number of quarantined people and with contact tracing.
Reminder that we will not have school on Wednesday November 25, 2020.
Have a great weekend and let us know if you have any questions.
Mr. Rudningen
GPS Special Board Meeting was today at 2:30 p.m. A Motion was made by Mitch Lundby and Second by Lavern Johnson. The motion was the following: I make a motion that Grenora Public School District acknowledges and will encourage the ND Department of Health’s Executive Order #2020-08 along with the Governor’s Executive Order #2020-43. The Grenora School District is not a Law enforcement agency, therefore GPS, including administration and teachers, will not police the use of masks being worn or not worn in school or on school transportation. Currently, according to the GPS Handbook, administration can contact the proper enforcement agency if they deem necessary for a violation of law. It is then up to the local law enforcement to respond accordingly. The motion carried 5-1
There will be no After School Program next week, November 23 - 26.

We cannot thank the entire staff enough for all of their hard work and dedication to educating our students!

I have two links for the 7-12 Drama Performance. The first link has better video quality, but is missing the first 30 seconds. The second is not as clear, but has the very beginning. I am working to get them pieced together.
