Dear ISD #435 Families and Staff,
Today, an in depth assessment of the Ogema Elementary School building was conducted with input given from the State Fire Marshal. As a result of this assessment, affected parts of the building have been sealed off and cleaning and restoration efforts will begin tomorrow morning. Therefore, Ogema Elementary (Grades PreK-3) will not have school tomorrow, November 14th, and the building will remain closed for the day. The Waubun campus (Grades 4-12) will have a regularly scheduled school day. All student-teacher conferences scheduled for tomorrow will be held at the Waubun campus, with conferences for students in grades PreK-3 happening in the main gymnasium at their previously scheduled time. We thank you for your flexibility and understanding during this difficult time. More updates will follow as cleaning and restoration efforts continue.
Sincerely,
Jordan Spaeth, Superintendent

Dear ISD #435 Families and Staff,
This afternoon, a fire started in the mechanical room of Ogema Elementary School. The fire was contained within the mechanical room and was extinguished quickly. However, high levels of smoke spread throughout various parts of the building, causing the environment to be deemed unsafe. As a result, there will be no school tomorrow, November 13th for Ogema Elementary (Grades PreK-3) and the building will remain closed for the day. The Waubun campus (Grades 4-12) will have a regularly scheduled school day. While we understand this may be a major inconvenience for many, please know that the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We are thankful for the quick response and efforts of the Ogema Fire Department, Waubun Fire Department, White Earth Fire Department, Callaway Fire Department, Mahnomen Fire Department, White Earth Police Department, Ottertail Electric, and ACE Electric. We will continue to provide updates on the building as we gather more information.
Sincerely,
Jordan Spaeth, Superintendent
