Congratulations and thank you to everyone who is working to make distance learning a success for our students! Everyone is working hard to adjust to their new roles and all of life's many changes. Please make sure this past week’s assignments are completed and returned in the student labeled portfolio by tomorrow, Thursday April 9th. Please remember that this work counts for grades and proves a student’s attendance by work completion. It is critical that this work exchange between student and teacher is happening for students to be successful. If there are problems, let's continue to work together to solve them. I am convinced we can overcome incredible challenges when we work together. Busses delivery and pickup & drop off times are from 11:00 am-1:00 pm.

Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Weekly School News Update-3-19-20
Greetings!
Greetings to the parents, students and community of WOWE. I hope you are all doing well! It has not even been a week and we already miss our students! But we sure do need the planning time. Trying to develop an effective Distance Learning plan to meet the needs of every learner at every grade level and every subject is a monumental task. I am confident in our staff to develop a great program and plan. Please know we are working hard for you. Superintendent Weber
Education Assistance Program (Internet Service)
Arvig announced they are offering an Education Assistance Program for families with a student in the K-12 system or for college students, to receive free internet service so their education can continue via e-learning methodologies in the event schools remain closed (or close again) as a result of COVID-19. People interested in learning more can contact the Arvig Customer Care team either online at arvig.com via online chat, or by calling 888.992.7844 and asking about the Arvig Education Assistance Program. The Customer Care Representative will walk them through the steps to determine if they qualify and if so, set them up for installation.
https://www.arvig.net/education-assistance-program
Lunch/Breakfast Program
If you are interested in being added to our lunch program please call any school office. We will get you added to the list. You can choose a Grab & Go option at either the Ogema or Waubun sites or choose to have it delivered. (If you choose delivery it may have to wait until the next day for us to make arrangements.) Same day lunch and next day breakfast are being delivered/picked from 11:00am -1:00 pm. This program is under the summer food program. All learners qualify for this lunch program and do not need to pay.
Talking with Children about the Coronavirus
As the news stories and public conversations about Coronavirus increases, so does our anxiety. It is only natural that our children would also worry about themselves, their families, the people they love and care about. Talking about what is happening in an open and honest manner decreases anxiety and fear. Make sure that what you are talking about is factual and not rumors or thoughts that are a result of your own fears and anxiety. Focus on what you can and will do to be safe as a family. Educate them about germs and personal care and hygiene. It is helpful to make sure that information you share is age appropriate. Young children need very different information than a teenager. Knowledgeable children are safer children. Please see the link, “Talking with children about Coronavirus Disease 2019: Messages for parents, school staff, and others working with children”, a resource created by the CDC.

Consent form for Home meal delivery
Announcement for the Food Service Program during school Closure:
The food service program will start tomorrow, Wednesday, March 18th, for parents who signed up for those services. The Grab and Go program is available at both the Waubun and Ogema sites from 11:00am-1:00pm. We will have meals available at the Kitchen doors in the entry way, so you will not have to enter the buildings. Parents who signed up for the bus delivery meals will have meals delivered between 11:00am-1:00 pm by our bus drivers. Since the bus drivers will not be transporting children on their meal deliveries, they may be driving their personal vehicles. They will call the phone numbers provided on your survey when they arrive at the delivery site. Then the student or adult can come to the vehicle to get the meal(s) for the household. If you have not completed a request for services, please check on Facebook or Live feed for the survey or call any of our school offices and we will collect the information over the phone. Superintendent Weber
Announcement for Emergency Staff and Health Worker Child Care
Child care for pre-registered emergency personnel will begin Wednesday, March 18th. Children can be dropped off between 7:30-8:00 am at the main entrance in Ogema. You will need to sign your child in and stay until a health check has been completed for your child. Students will need to follow the rules and expectations of the student handbook and students are expected to follow the directives of all staff. We are limiting access into the building so drop off and pick up will be at the main entrance only. You will need to sign out your child each day also. Please bring winter outdoor gear as we will be playing outside as the weather allows. If you have not completed a request for services, please check on Facebook or Live feed for the survey or call any of our school offices and we will collect the information over the phone and review for eligibility.

March 15, 2020
Dear Families,
Today, Governor Tim Walz and Education Commissioner Mary Cathryn Ricker announced that all Minnesota public schools will close to students starting Wednesday, March 18, 2020 with the plan to resume instruction on Monday, March 30, 2020.
During the school closure for students, Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Community Schools will be joining school districts and charter schools across the state to create plans to equitably distribute distance learning to our students should we need to close schools statewide for a longer period of time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Minnesota Department of Education is defining distance learning to mean that a student receives daily interaction with their licensed teacher(s) and appropriate educational materials. Starting March 30, 2020, per the instruction from the Minnesota Department of Education, student learning will continue for the rest of the school year.
Our educators will be giving thoughtful planning to our distance learning plan, offering careful consideration for students in a variety of areas, including students receiving special education services, multilingual learners, students experiencing homelessness, and students who rely on meals served at school. Once our distance learning plan is finalized we will communicate the plan to families through our Apptegy communication system and mail.
As always, our first priority is the safety and well-being of our students. We also want to ensure every child has access to the education they need and deserve.
We will continue to keep you informed as we navigate COVID-19.
Sincerely,
Lisa Weber, Superintendent
Due to guidelines set forth by the CDC and the Minnesota Department of Health in response to the COVID 19 health issue, we are postponing our afterschool events and activities where large groups would be meeting. Consequently, next week's band/choir concert and speech night will be postponed. The Minnesota State High School League has also released an announcement stating that all sports and activities are limited to practice and tryouts until April 6, 2020.
We sent out this very important health information regarding COVID-19 yesterday, but not everyone was able to access it. So we will try again in a different format. Please follow the link to the information.( https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fQ62SA7rDSbMggfhab7r13HDfapwIhYK ) Information changes very quickly, so we will send updates when we have factual information that is beneficial to our learners and community.

Dear Staff, Parents, and Students, 01/09/20
Students at the Waubun School site were called into Lockdown following a terroristic threat today, Thursday, January, 9, 2020 at 2:10pm. The threat response by administration and law enforcement was very quick and the student was removed from the premise by law enforcement. An investigation is ongoing. So along with the Mahnomen County Sheriff Department, and Administrative Staff a search was completed and students were safely returned to their routine schedule at 3:06 pm.
A full investigation of the threat will continue. Threatening the safety of our learning community is a serious offense. Disrupting our learning environment is not acceptable. We will be working with law enforcement officials to find closure to this issue. I want to thank our staff, administration, students, parents, and law enforcement for their quick response, cooperation, and patience.
Sincerely,
Superintendent, Lisa Weber

Happy New Year!
School resumes on Thursday, January 2nd.
There will not be any Climber Club after school at Ogema this week. Climber Club will start again on January 6th.
It is with deepest sorrow we share the news that Clayton Lehrke, son of Angie and Tim Lehrke, died on Friday, December 27, 2019. It has been confirmed that his passing was due to natural causes. While that brings no answers, it also helps us know there was nothing to be done to prevent the outcome. Clayton was a senior at Detroit Lakes High School. The loss of Clayton’s life has a tremendous impact on the Waubun-Ogema-White Earth School, the Detroit Lakes School and surrounding communities. It is important that we support Clayton’s family, our students, staff, parents, and each other as we grieve this tragic loss. We will provide additional support staff and counseling services as students and staff return to classes on January 2nd. For additional support and services the Becker County and White Earth Reservation Mental Health 24 hour crisis and support hotline is available to parents, students, staff, and anyone needing support. Call 1-218-850-4357 or 1-877-380-3621

ecause the poll for the yearbook came back pretty closely tied between memes, Thunderbirds, and graffiti, the students decided to combine all three. The yearbook theme will be Thunderbirds in graffiti style, with a page spread for memes. Students and staff should watch for a call for meme submissions soon!
Because the theme is going to include all three, the students would like to have a contest for best meme, best photo, and best drawing.
Students can enter the "Meme-yourself " contest by taking a photo of themselves and adding a caption that turns them into a meme.
Students can submit to the school photo contest by sending in their best Thunderbirds-themed photo.
The yearbook students will also be accepting submissions for the best graffiti-inspired drawing.
The yearbook students will vote and decide the best meme, photo, and drawing, and the winners will be featured in this year's yearbook.
All meme, photo, and drawing submissions should be turned into Ms. Price no later than the end of the day Monday, Dec. 2. CONTEST WINNERS WILL RECEIVE A FREE YEARBOOK!!!

DNR hosts second round of area open houses for deer conversation
Public can meet local wildlife staff and learn about upcoming hunting season changes
Local wildlife managers across the state are again inviting the public to come to open house meetings to ask their deer-related questions and offer thoughts on deer issues.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is dedicating time from mid-August to early September to discuss deer-related topics including upcoming hunting regulation changes that will be released in early August. Specific time and location details are available on the deer plan webpage at mndnr.gov/deerplan.
These local, open house meetings are a way to encourage conversations about deer and deer management, enhance local relationships and foster two-way communication between the DNR and the public.

The Seven Teachings, also known as Seven Grandfather Teachings, are a set of principles we conduct towards other people. These seven teachings encompass virtue among the Anishinaabe or Ojibwe culture and are similar in nations and reservations across the United States. We propose to nominate and honor students in Waubun School who demonstrate one of the Grandfather teachings in their home, school, or community.
Congratulations to our May winners: May is Humility.
Be humble you walk with yourself to the way you walk with someone.
Humble yourself to your fellow human in the way you walk with him or her.
Dabaadendiziwin—Humility: Humility is to know yourself as a sacred part of Creation. In the Anishinaabe language, this word can also mean “compassion.” You are equal to others, but you are not better. Some communities instead express this with Bekaadiziwin, which in addition to “humility” can also be translated as “calmness,” “meekness,” “gentility” or “patience.”

First grade has been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. To grow into an adult they go through 4 stages: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly! We got to watch real live caterpillars go through these stages of metamorphosis over the past few weeks and today Miss Stalberger’s class released their Painted Ladies on the playground! We gave them a gentle wave as we said our “goodbyes” and a couple of them even hung out with us for a while before flying away!
Cleighton Hoban will be in the news tomorrow! He was chosen to be on the KVLY weather kid, he will be on at 5:00 PM
Kindergarten classes were visited by farmer Donna Spaeth today. She brought a hen and a rooster that were hatched at Ogema Elementary last year. Students learned a few differences between hens and roosters, and took turns petting a hen. Thank you Donna Spaeth!
Last chick post, I promise...😌
Quote of the chick unit, by Jaelyn Spaeth: Looking at our illustrated eggs..."Miss Allen, that our chicks went from this embryo (day one) to this chick (day 21) is like a miracle of life." ♡

Miss Allen's Kindergarten class has spent the week talking about Earth Day. We have talked about reducing, reusing, recycling, conservation, and restoration. Yesterday, my students actually recycled paper from our classroom recycling bin. The students tore the paper into little scraps and blended them into a pulp by adding water and a little glue. After straining through a screen, the paper was left to dry over night. Today we cut and wrote on our recycled paper! Young children love and are naturally protective of the earth and its living creatures. I'm super proud of how earnestly my kids discussed and processed the importance of caring for our planet; it's never too early to emphasize this responsibility. ♡

On behalf of the Minnesota Vikings and the National Football Foundation, congratulations on being a State Champion. We have invited all Football State Championship Coaches to be a part of the 2019 Minnesota Football Honors Event. The Minnesota Football Honors is a celebration of Minnesota Football and is held at US Bank Stadium.
The event is open to the public and tickets can be purchased at www.minnesotafootballhonors.com for $25. Feel free to invite team members, families and friends of your program.
Mrs. Halverson's Class is learning to "Keep the Day" no matter what life throws at them. Today, it was snow! We challenge you to do the same.
The Code yellow has been lifted and we are back to our normal routines. Thank you to law enforcement, administration, staff, students, and parents for all working together to ensure our school's safety.
Everyone is safe. Today Tuesday, April 2, 2019, at 10:58 am the Waubun School implemented a lockdown due to a report of a person with a weapon near the school building. The report was determined to be "unfounded", which means after an intensive search and investigation, the report was not substantiated at this time. There will be an ongoing investigation into this incident. The administration, staff, and students did an excellent job of following emergency procedures. The police and sheriff's office established and maintained a safety perimeter around the school very quickly. I want to thank the officers for their quick response. While there was no direct threat against the school, we will continue to be proactive in our responses to make sure we are keeping the safety of our students and staff at the forefront. A part of that safety includes not sending out alerts about the situation that may put us at greater risk and or compromise law enforcement efforts. We continue to be in a code yellow. Parents, please avoid the natural instinct of wanting to come to school. We need to give law enforcement the clearance they need to continue their investigation. I will notify you when we are back to full clearance. Thank you.
Today is World Autism Awareness Day!
Mrs. Oertwich and some of her 2nd graders wore blue to spread awareness for acceptance and understanding of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is so important to teach acceptance and kindness of all regardless of differences starting at a young age! Way to show your support, 2nd graders!
Thank you to all of the blood donors. We exceeded our goal! Student council workers, you were awesome too. Thanks for your hard work and assistance.

Preschool screening/ Kindergarten Orientation
The Seven Teachings, also known as Seven Grandfather Teachings, are a set of principles we conduct towards other people. These seven teachings encompass virtue among the Anishinaabe or Ojibwe culture and are similar in nations and reservations across the United States. We propose to nominate and honor students in Waubun School who demonstrate one of the Grandfather teachings in their home, school, or community. They may be nominated by any staff. This month's teaching is Nibwakaawin (Wisdom) the mixture of teachings combined with experiences of life, not only through knowledge but using good sense and course of action to form a positive attitude. Congratulations to our students for receiving the Wisdom award!
