Hello Spartan families! We are working hard to create a plan, if needed, for distance learning for all our elementary students. However we move forward, we want to be sure that we're able to reliably access all of our students. Please fill out this form so that we know about your ability to access various technology tools from your home. http://bit.ly/KEStech2020

The ACT test prep seminar scheduled for March 19th as well as the ACT test administration scheduled for March 24th have both been canceled. We will update with any rescheduling information as we know more. The CIS orientation scheduled for March 25th at ICC has been canceled.

Please call 218-885-1280 ext. 51102 if your high school student does NOT have internet access, and/or a device, and let us know if your child can't get to a food location. Stop by the school between 8-3PM this week if you can pick up locker belongings.

Starting Wed. 3/18, when school is closed, we will provide meals for children at 5 locations from 9:30-11:00AM. Food bags will be at NKHS in the big gym, Keewatin Elem. at the main door, Goodland Community Church, Buck Lake baseball field, and the Post Office in Pengilly.

As was stated in a message earlier in the day, school Minnesota school districts and charter schools will be closed Wednesday, March 18th through Friday, March 27th. Part of Governor Walz’s plan is that school districts provide childcare to children 12 years or younger who are enrolled in our schools, and are the children of emergency and healthcare workers critical to the COVID-19 response. If you are a healthcare or emergency worker and will need childcare from the school during the upcoming school closure, please visit the following link: http://www.tinyurl.com/IASCcare School district employees will review the childcare needs and communicate the details of the arrangements as soon as we are able. Thank you for your patience as this situation continues to unfold.

The MSHSL announced this morning that all section and state tournaments for basketball are cancelled. No game tonight. You had a great season, Spartans. We are proud of you!
