Midkota Community:
Many times there are questions or concerns that may arise from a parent or student. If a student is having a problem that needs attention, whether it be with studies, other children, or staff, there is a standard process for addressing the problem. Problems are best solved as close to the source as possible. With that in mind, we ask the following:
· It is suggested that you discuss your concerns first with your child.
· If further communication is necessary, visit with your child’s teacher.
· If satisfaction is not reached at this level, a visit with the principal or a letter is welcome.
· After a visit to the principal, if the situation warrants further discussion, a visit with the superintendent would be appropriate.
· The board members are to be contacted only after the teacher, principal, and superintendent have been approached and still no solution has been reached.
Sorry for the confusion, however Elementary boys basketball practice is in Binford today, not Glenfield.

Calling All Sand Toys
Hey Midkota,
If you happen to have any gently used sand toys that could use a new home, look no further. The elementary school would love to make use of some toys for our sandbox. Our new pre-school class especially loves the sandbox and would be excited to play with some "new" sand toys. Donations can be dropped off at the office, or sent to school with your students.
Thank you and Happy Fall!
