A Busy Week for the Honkers!
February is flying in hot and so are the Honkers! From road games to Senior Night for our Girls Basketball team and regional wrestling, there’s plenty to cheer for this week.

❄️ Winter Formal Postponed ❄️
Due to the current weather conditions and icy roads in the area, the Winter Formal Dance hosted by the Kenmare Student Council scheduled for January 31st at Kenmare High School has been postponed.
The safety of our students, families, and staff is our top priority, and we want everyone to travel safely without risk.
A new date for the dance will be announced soon. All purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled event.
Thank you for your understanding, and stay warm and safe! 🧣

🚗 After-School Pick-Up Traffic (3:00–3:40 PM)
To help reduce congestion and keep everyone safe during afternoon pick-up, the school board is asking for your help with traffic flow between 3:00 and 3:40 PM.
Please follow these guidelines:
➡️ If you are parked in the parking lot, turn left when exiting or go straight down a side street
⛔ Please avoid going northbound on 7th Ave when leaving the parking lot
⛔ If you are using the pick-up loop, avoid going south on 7th Ave
➡️ From the loop, turn right when exiting or continue down a side street
These small adjustments will help traffic move more smoothly and keep students, families, and staff safe during our busiest time of day.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience! 💙
Tonight we celebrate our Kenmare-Bowbells Honkers Wrestling seniors.
Years of early mornings, hard practices, tough matches, and unforgettable moments have led to this night. You’ve represented Honker wrestling with grit, heart, and pride, and your impact on this program will last far beyond the mat.
A huge thank you to the families behind these athletes. Your time, dedication, sacrifices, rides to practice, support in the stands, and belief in this program are the foundation of Honker wrestling. This success belongs to you too.
We are grateful for every moment you’ve given to the Honkers and proud of the legacy you leave behind. 💛
Once a Honker, always a Honker.

The windchill is supposed to continue tomorrow and into the weekend. If you are uncomfortable sending your child to school tomorrow, or are unable to get them to school safely, their absence will be excused due to the weather. An absence tomorrow will not count toward the 10 allowed absences for highschool students. If your child is unable to attend tomorrow please notify us by calling the office in the morning or filling out the online absence form.
Please say safe and warm, Honkers!
Please submit applications through edjobsnd.com.

Last year, Kenmare Public School sent out a survey about the possibility of a four-day school week. Based on the results, there was enough interest from families to continue the discussion and gather more information.
At this time, no decisions have been made. Our goal is simply to better understand current community thoughts, concerns, and possible benefits as we review state requirements and research from other districts.
Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey. Your feedback will help guide future discussion and planning.
