Students in the NBAPS American Indian Education Program made drums by hand recently as part of the Weekly Native Culture Nights series. In upcoming sessions, students will learn more about will drum and dance and sewing.
Due to weather conditions, after-school district events and activities are canceled for today. This includes sports and activities, parent-teacher conferences and Community Education events.
Youth Connections will remain open as regularly scheduled. Information about rescheduled parent-teacher conferences will come from each school.
School will be released 10 minutes earlier than normal to allow extra time for a safe ride home. This early release is not expected to change the time students arrive at home- the purpose is to prioritize more time in response to road conditions.
