DCSD, along with other ND schools, is currently reviewing Governor Burgum's new mandates. The mandates are not expected to change our current in-person instructional model, but may affect our safety precaution level. The start of winter sports and other school activities will be delayed until December 14. NDHSAA sponsored activities will be allowed to complete their fall events. We will keep you updated as more information is available.

Governor Burgum has announced that Divide County's risk level will be raised to the Yellow/Moderate Risk level on Friday, November 6. Please note that this does not change the current instructional model at DCSD. Instruction will stay on-campus with continued safety measures in place.
Please continue to do your part to slow the spread.
DCSD Families,
We are continuing to email letters to notify families when your student has been a close contact to another student or staff member who has tested positive for COVID. An email was sent yesterday to several DCHS families and today several families from DCE will receive an emailed letter. These letters will either be from tanja.brown@k12.nd.us or desiree.wishart@k12.nd.us.
Families/students who received letters yesterday or today are not required to quarantine due to the Mask Exemption allowance and instead are asked to SELF-MONITOR. If symptoms develop, stay home and contact your healthcare provider. DCSD follows the mask exemption guidance which allows students and staff to stay in school if all parties were masked (with approved mask types) during the close contact with the positive case. We thank our students and staff for taking extra precautions to help keep us in school!
Notifying close contacts takes time. In order to speed up the process we often bcc the emails so we can send them in bulk. We are not able to identify your child individually in that type of mailing. Therefore, we will list the classes/courses in which the close contact occurred. You will only receive the letter if your child is enrolled in one of the listed classes. After receiving the email, please contact the sender if any further clarification is needed.
Please continue to do your part to slow the spread of COVID in our community. We must all work together to keep our families healthy, our businesses and schools open, and our healthcare facilities able to serve the needs of all those who are ill.
Each year the 3rd graders use a program called “Kicking It Multiplication” to learn their multiplication facts. Each day they have 60 seconds to complete 60 multiplication facts They earn belts along the way after mastering 4 sets of 60 facts.
Aliza Pulvermacher earned her yellow belt today after mastering sets A-D. Congratulations
