Join us behind the scenes at MAPS! Today we are taking a look at the construction at Moorhead High School.
Did you know that you can watch live progress here >> https://www.isd152.org/page/construction. The high school will have three new academic wings that will bring more light and energy to every classroom! Thirty percent of the exterior wall will be glass!
In honor of Education Support Professionals Day, we want to highlight staff member Sarah Martin! Sarah is the Learning Resource Strategist at Ellen Hopkins Elementary and has been with MAPS since 1999. When it comes to her job, she says, “It’s awesome to get to work with all the kids at Hopkins and watch them grow from kindergarten to 4th grade. I love sharing books and helping learners grow, find their interests and explore new things.” #AmericanEducationWeek #SpudPride
MHS Student Council's Fill the Dome fundraiser has begun! All Moorhead schools will be participating and students are encouraged to bring in non-perishable food items for donation. All items will be donated to the Great Plains Food Bank to give to local families in need. If you’re interested in helping fight hunger in our community, virtual donations can also be made here >> https://greatplainsfoodbank.fenly.org/drive/moorhead-high-school-virtual-food-drive/
Moorhead public and non-public schools and buses will start 2 hours late today, November 12. There will be no morning Early Intervention Services, Jump Start or Community Education classes. Before-school activities are cancelled. All employees are to report to work as scheduled. Online students will maintain a regular schedule.
Meet Adult Basic Education Teacher Casey Hatlevoll. Casey’s favorite part of the job is, “The dynamic nature of my job, knowing that each day is going to look different than the last and being able to observe students overcome so many obstacles while pursuing a GED or furthering their education.”
👟Enjoys running
📚Favorite childhood books are any of the fairy tales or Ameila Bedilia books
🎶Secret talent is knowing all of the words to every Shania Twain song (Yes, every song!)

Recently a parent posted on social media thanking one of our drivers for going above and beyond. We want to highlight John Rasmussen, bus driver at Moorhead Area Public Schools.
He noticed a first grader was running a minute behind. John made an extra stop down the block in front of their house, to make sure the student didn't miss the bus. These little acts of kindness are what make our school district and community the best place to be!
