The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for NW Minnesota from 4:00 am tomorrow through Friday. Due to this impending blizzard with expected rain, ice, snow and wind, Red Lake Schools will NOT have in-person school tomorrow. Instead, we will be holding an E-Learning Day across the district. All students will receive online assignments or paper packets to complete for the learning day. Students are expected to complete their work and submit it by Monday of next week.
We are also postponing parent-teacher conferences that had been scheduled for Red Lake and Ponemah Elementary Schools tomorrow. We will announce a date in the future to reschedule those conferences.
As a reminder, there is no school on Friday in observance of Veterans Day.
Thank you for your cooperation as we hold an E-Learning day tomorrow.
Reminder: No after school activities today, November 8, due to elections.

In Ms. Fairbanks' class, students had two choices in Makerspace! One was the spider web bridge challenge. They were given 4 cups for pillars, tape, yarn, and 24 spiders. The task was to make a bridge to hold as many spiders as possible. Both groups figured out a way to hold all 24 spiders. Check out these photos shared from class!
