Way to go, South Point! 💚💛

Congratulations Conner - we are so proud of you!

On September 30, East Grand Forks Public Schools will recognize Orange Shirt Day.
Orange Shirt Day began with Phyllis Webstad’s story of having her new orange shirt taken away on her first day at a residential school. The day is an opportunity to remember Indigenous children who attended residential and boarding schools in Canada and the United States, including those who never returned home. It is also a time to recognize the lasting effects on families and communities.
Thank you for helping our students approach this history with care and for showing Indigenous students and families that they belong in our schools.

Check out the upcoming UND Homecoming events!
Dear EGF Families,
Thank you to everyone who supported our students and activities throughout Homecoming Week. East Side Pride was certainly on display! We had great attendance at both the football game and homecoming Dance, and we appreciate the tremendous community support.
Unfortunately, we also experienced a number of behavioral issues involving elementary and middle school students at the football game. As a reminder, students in 5th grade and younger must be accompanied by an adult at all extracurricular events.
Please remind your students that they are attending these events to watch and support the activity taking place. The district provides free admission to encourage our students to attend, but we also expect appropriate behavior.
Attending extracurricular events is a privilege, not a right. Students involved in behavioral issues may be asked to leave and could lose the privilege of attending future events.
Thank you for reviewing these expectations with your students and for helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.
Thank you for your continued support and East Side Pride!

Our Good News Call of the Day is for Lachlan Wallace.
She was nominated by third grade teacher Mr. Hemsing and this is what he had to say about Lachlan. "Mr. Adolphson and I were on the playground during recess talking about the recess equipment shed being a mess. Later, I went to put something away in the shed and found Lachlan straightening everything up. She mentioned that she heard us talking and then went to clean it up on her own. Thank you Lachlan for independently taking on that responsibility!"
Congratulations Lachlan - we are so proud of you!
