Exploring the 'crazy' theories of Alfred Wegener! Ms. Polston brought the fun to the classroom, dressing up as a scientist to share the Continental Drift theory. Her students had fun examining the evidence and debating if she's still a 'crazy scientist.' 🌎#larnedpride #learningisfun

USD 495 family’s school will resume with normal hours tomorrow January 10th. Please be advised rural bus route students and parents if we discover roads during our morning route that are unsafe to travel, we will be in contact with parents. Roads throughout our district are still snow packed so please use caution and plan for additional time as you travel to school in the morning. If you are not comfortable with the roads, please contact your student’s school to excuse them in the morning. We look forward to seeing students and staff tomorrow.
