Kindergarten was busy today! They got to read with fourth graders and then they became cardiologists! ❤️

Even these little cuties participated in Valentine's Day by making boxes and handing out Valentines! 💘

🌨️ Buckle Up, Buttercups! 🌨️ We’re toughing it out for the rest of this winter—no distance learning, so if you’re not here, you’re missing out! But if you are here, get ready for a rootin’ tootin’ good ole time with all these Wonky Honkies! 🚜💨 P.S. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so come share the love (or at least some candy) and warm up those frozen hearts! 💖😂 #HonkerStrong #WinterWarriors #FrostyButFestive

Honker Families: KPS would like to invite you to report your child(ren)'s absences digitally in the future. This can be done the day of or in advance if you know your child will be absent for a medical appointment or other event. Phone calls will still be accepted for absences, this is simply for convenience for families and the school administrative assistants. When submitted, you will receive a copy of the form in your email. PowerSchool alerts will still be in effect to notify you of student absences as well. This form is also accessible on the Kenmare Public School website under Parent Resources. https://forms.gle/cmHaMPAWJYaRCHjS6

Parents - Our office staff needs you to call your students in if they won't be there right away in the mornings. They have way too many other things to do in the morning. If there is not a call from parents, students will be counted unexcused absent. Our policy states the following: Attendance Policy Parents or guardians are to call the office on the day the student is absent to verify the absence. If a call is not made, the student must bring a note to the principal or main office signed by the parent or guardian explaining the absence.

Once again, we’re fastening down the hatches and holding onto our hats (literally) until this wild wind decides to take a break. So, the same rules apply for tomorrow and Thursday—if your child can’t make it in, give the school a call. If they’re opting for distance learning, have them email their teachers (carrier pigeons are NOT recommended... they’d probably end up in Minot with this wind). Stay safe, stay grounded, and when you do go outside, maybe bring some ankle weights. 💨😆 Merry Valentine's, Honkers!

We have a job opening for the 2025-2026 school year!
