Hey everyone,
A document has been shared with the senior graduating class in their respective senior Google Classroom outlining the social distancing requirements of this years ceremony on May 24th at the high school gym. Each senior will get to bring eight family member guests, and will be seated by ushers six feet apart to maximize social distancing. Also, all graduates and their families will be required to wear masks. These precautions are being done in part to appease recommendations from the state of North Dakota and the state school board association. Ultimately DC schools are using these precautions to protect all of the graduating students, the graduates families and everyone involved with the ceremony. The school is recommending the decorating of individual masks to make the process more unique and enjoyable. Thanks everyone for your cooperation and understanding! Congrats to the class of 2020.

DCHS Senior Families - A survey seeking input from senior families regarding graduation was emailed today to emails we have on file. If you do not receive it, please email nicholas.ator@k12.nd.us with your updated email information.
Hey everyone. We all hope that you’re staying safe and healthy during this unprecedented time of unease and inconvenience. We know that the students of our school have all been dealt a cruel hand. Things like sporting seasons, awards ceremonies and social functions have been taken from them like never before, not to mention plain old school. We are working behind the scenes to make an honest effort at providing whatever we can in terms of these events. We are still, in part, hoping that possibly we can return to the school building in May. With that said, we need to consider forms of alternative options. We could have prom in May or at a later date into the summer. Graduation, especially, is our number one priority. For graduation specifically we are considering a few alternative plans including but not limited to: a ceremony outdoors on the football field where we could practice social distancing, a digital display of students using Facebook or the like, or simply moving the date back into the summer. All of these plans have weaknesses and will cause us problems, but it is the best we can offer during this time. In the meantime we are awaiting guidance from the Governor on whether we can be in the school building or not in May. At that point we can finalize our decisions as quickly as possible. We thank everyone for their patience and understanding.
Please join us on the ND FBLA Facebook page for the North Dakota FBLA Virtual Awards of Excellence Program. https://www.facebook.com/NDFutureLeaders/

DAY 1 - Successful!
Good Evening, Everyone!
I want to thank everyone who helped make this first day of online learning a success! Thank you to our teachers who diligently worked to convert classroom learning to an online platform in a matter of 7 days! We are so blessed to have such dedicated, talented, and innovative teachers and staff at DCE! They put in LONG hours making sure that we could continue educating the kids of our community!
Thank you to our PARENTS!!!! You truly are rock stars! Thank you for being patient with us as we introduce you to this new platform. Thank you for adding even more responsibilities to your already full plates during this time of uncertainty. We appreciate all that you are doing alongside us right now! You are not alone - we are here to support each other every step of the way!
Thank you to our students! They are so resilient and eager to try out this new platform! So much so that a few of them made some discoveries prompting us to set up some guidelines and boundaries for using the online learning platform. They keep us on our toes!!
Please see said guidelines attached to this message and review the expectations with your students. I'll be going over them during announcements tomorrow morning as well as popping into a few LIVE lessons to review the expectations with smaller groups of students.
I appreciate everyone's help! We can do this TOGETHER! ~Mrs. Brown
Need new library books?
Contact Mrs. Wissbrod at megan.wissbrod@k12.nd.us. Check out the online library catalog to see what is available. Pick up at the elementary/public library.
https://polaris.odinlibrary.org/polaris/default.aspx?ctx=27.1033.0.0.1
DCE teachers will be going LIVE during their scheduled live classroom times beginning today. Don't worry if you don't have access or aren't sure where to go yet. Monday and Tuesday are the days for us to help everyone get things figured out. Email your teacher or Mrs. Brown if you are having any difficulties. We're here to work through this TOGETHER! We'll see you soon!
Good evening. Just a reminder that on-line school starts tomorrow morning at 8:30. Teachers are all ready to go with their Google Classrooms. Even hour classes are Monday and Wednesdays and your Odd hour classes are Tuesday and Thursday. Assignments will be due on Friday and teachers are working Fridays for if you need to check in with them. Please understand we will be taking attendance for these classes, as well as assigning work. We can't wait to get connected with our students and start a new, unprecedented chapter in the history of DC schools. Get logged in tomorrow and we will all do our best! If anyone has any issues at all, call the high school or email your teachers. Go Divide County Maroons.
Junior High and High School teachers decided whether or not to send home specific textbooks. So in short, not all textbooks are going to be sent home. Only books that specific teachers elected to us as we continue our classes. Teachers will address this with students in their Google Classrooms.
For everyone's safety please stay in your cars during pickup at the High School building. Staff will bring it out to you at the main entrance. Thank you.
Please see this information regarding pick-up procedures for today and tomorrow at DCE. Please stay in your vehicle in one of the pick-up lanes and staff will come to you. Thank you for your assistance!
Hey everyone. Here is the link to the DCHS on-line schedule ( https://5il.co/e5h9 ) for teachers and our students’ classes. We elected to create a block schedule to hopefully allow more time for students and teachers to work together in their on-line platforms. Even period classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays, odd period classes are on Tuesday and Thursdays. We also hope that these blocks will allow more time for students personal schedules. A paper copy of this document will also be in students bags when we conduct pickup.
Please note that teachers also have “office hours” to be available for on-line meetings, emails and phone calls from our students. On Fridays teachers are available from 8:00 to 4:00 to all of their students in all of their classes. The high school hopes that this week, beginning Thursday and into Friday, all students can get logged into their Google Classrooms. This way we will know who needs help with class access going forward. Then on Monday (3/30) we can hit the ground running by beginning instruction and completing assignments. Any student in grades 7 thru 12 that cannot get logged into a class by Monday can please call the high school.
A helpful hint to students is to highlight or mark their own personal class schedules in this new block system. Students, please remember which period you have your assigned period class…meaning there is two periods of a 7th grade science class. You should remember that you were in either the 1st or 2nd hour science class. The teachers have you placed in your same, original periods Google classroom.
DCSD Informational Letter

Divide County High School is in the process of deploying curriculum in a digital platform, per order of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction. This digital platform will come in a small variety of teaching formats and learning applications including Google Classroom and Acellus.
DCHS teachers and staff have created Google Classroom formats for students to log into. Directions for the Google Classroom format will attached in a different document. Teachers will be available in a variety of ways to further student instruction, including creating videos, internet chat, email and telephone calls. Many of these ways to correspond with students are available in the google classroom application. A modified schedule of classes will be released as soon as possible.
There is an expectation of all schools to continue to appropriately provide an education for all their students and DCHS intends to do their best to fulfill that expectation. We want to do this in a reasonable and fair manner. Students will have to be responsible in their ability to log in to these digital classrooms and work on assigned course work. In turn students can get all the help they need. Students are encouraged to email and set up times for teachers to chat with them in one on one meetings or meet with groups of students if they need help.
We literally are putting one foot in front of the other to make this work. We will all learn as we go.

DCSD teachers were in school today and joined forces with our custodians. So proud of our staff for all the behind the scenes work they are doing to help prepare for whatever the Governor directs us to do next week. We sure are missing the students and hope to see them soon!
Divide County School District is currently working under the Governor's directives to make plans for a variety of scenarios going forward. This includes planning for possible re-entry into school and also exploring options of virtual learning for our students if an extended school closure is recommended. DCSD families will be receiving a phone call from a school representative inquiring as to each family's ability to connect to the internet as well as their access to a device. Paper/pencil options are also being reviewed in case of an extended closure. The Governor is expected to make an announcement on Friday offering guidance as to how schools in ND will proceed.
Good morning, Due to the current school closure, Divide County School District understands that there may be families who need assistance providing meals for their children. If your family is on free or reduced lunches at school and you need assistance during this time, please call the district office at 701-965-6313 by 4:00 today. We will make available a brown bag breakfast/lunch for pick-up at the school on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
Guidance Update: Governor Burgum has announced that ND K-12 schools will be closed for 5 school days. DCSD classes will resume on Monday, March 23, 2020. The Governor has recommended practicing good hygiene and social distancing during this time.
Update from Divide County School District
Divide County School District will remain open, as advised by the NDDOH, NDDPI, and the Governor’s Office.
As a proactive measure, DCSD will be suspending all after-school activities indefinitely. This includes the elementary after-school KIDSS program. NDHSAA has suspended all sports practices, game contests, and fine arts activities.
All outside community members and organizations who have been using school facilities including the gym, weight room, lunchroom, etc. and parents volunteering with any school related activity will not have access at this time. DCE Banking and Junior Achievement activities will also be postponed. The Missoula Children’s Theater will also be postponed or cancelled. The Divide County Library will only be open to the general public from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon until further notice. The district has suspended all school-related student and staff travel at this time including field trips.
In addition, until further notice, DCSD will be restricting access to school buildings during the school day to permit only parents and essential services such as food service and necessary supply deliveries. We ask parents to come into the school only when there is an absolute need
to do so.
Parent-Teacher Conferences, that are scheduled for March 23, 24, and 26, will be conducted via phone, email, or other form of communication during the scheduled dates from 4:00-7:30 p.m. More information will be forthcoming as we approach the scheduled conference dates. The Scholastic Book Fair scheduled at DCHS during this time will not be open to the public. Other options for public sale are being explored.
DCE and DCHS will suspend all attendance incentives for semester test exemptions. Other considerations for semester test exemptions may be considered by the administration and staff as we continue into the rest of the school year. This includes perfect attendance awards. Students and staff who are ill are strongly advised to stay home.
Looking into the future, decisions regarding prom and spring concerts have not been made. It is possible these activities could be streamed for the public to view.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration regarding the actions being taken in response to COVID-19. As additional guidance becomes available, the district will continue to update any changes to plans.

Update: We are currently working with Living Tree and PowerSchool to make the corrections to fields pulling guardian emails and cell phone #'s. Once the fix has been made we'll notify you through this platform so you know when to expect your invitation email or text. Thank you for your patience. It will be fantastic when we get everyone connected!
Hi Everyone! I'm just so excited that Living Tree is LIVE! We're hearing some great feedback from families about the information they are already getting from classrooms! So AWESOME!! I know there is a little confusion right now getting some of the kinks worked out. Please let us know what troubles you are experiencing (701-965-6324). Living Tree technicians are working with us to get these issues corrected ASAP. Here are two of the issues we currently have fixes for or know to be an issue:
1. iPhone App showing mostly white where text should be. Fix: Turn off DARK MODE setting
2. Only one parent receiving the invitation email. Fix: Option 1: Parent who received email can login and invite the other parent - we are noticing that this doesn't work in all cases. Option 2: Wait while DCE works with Living Tree to correct this. We want to have this fixed before the end of the week.
If you are experiencing any other issues, please contact the DCE office to let us know and we'll get right on it! Make it a great day!
DCE Families - Your Living Tree usernames and passwords should be arriving in your email today or tomorrow. If you need to make changes to your email address on file please contact the elementary office.
No School at DCE & DCHS on Monday, February 17 in observance of President's Day.
Divide County Elementary is excited to announce that we will be working with Livingtree to help bring families closer to their child’s learning experiences at school! Starting February 17, 2020, we are implementing the Livingtree Engage platform across DCE. This new engagement platform will be a private and secure community for families and teachers to work together in support of better learning outcomes for children.
With this easy-to-use platform, families can respond to posts, messages, files, photos, videos, events, and volunteer opportunities on Livingtree Engage, which is available on the web, as well as iOS and Android mobile applications. Additionally, users can select their preferred language to receive information, with over 100 languages available.
We encourage everyone to ensure that their contact information is correct and up-to-date. Emails will be sent out on February 17, 2020 with information regarding their Livingtree account. All you need to do is follow the instructions in the message to finish setting up your account.
The current Divide County School District App will still be used to communicate with the community. Livingtree simply provides a private, safe way to share specific classroom information with families only of that classroom.
You can use Livingtree Engage on any device. Simply download the free mobile app for iOS or Android, or use it on a computer or mobile browser at: http://learn.livingtree.com. Our goal is for every family to join Livingtree Engage. Please feel free to ask us any questions or contact Livingtree’s Customer Support.
