News & Announcements

There will be a mandatory Senior meeting on Monday, March 8th at 3 pm in the Wakpala Public School Theater. We will be discussing some important Senior and parent/guardian information, grades, attendance, etc. Parents are welcome to attend!

In January 2020, Wakpala Public School implemented a Student ID system. Student IDs help strengthen accountability and safety by ensuring students get on their assigned bus and are arriving at their assigned bus drop-off location at the end of the day. We have seen a recurring issue recently of students not having their ID when they board the bus in the morning. Please help ensure your child has their ID when they leave the house. If an ID has been lost or damaged, another can be obtained by stopping by the front office. Thank you for your help.

The 21st Century Program is up & running. We've had great participation so far!
We wanted to remind everyone that students who are signed up for the afterschool program will be kept at school unless a parent/ guardian has called the school no later than 3:00. This is so parents and teachers both know where students should be going. Students who have behavior problems during the school day and are written up will not be allowed to stay for the afterschool program. Parents will be notified of this and students will ride home on the bus at 3:30.

The Delta Dental mobile program will be at our school February 22-26. Your child will only receive services if they have a signed parent/guardian consent form that was given at the beginning of the school year. Please call the school nurse with any questions or concerns.

Due to the Grand River (Singing) Bridge closure on Highway 1806, there will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, February 22nd. Further school information will be provided as updates become available.

It is once again time to make your nominations for 'Wakpala Teacher of the Year' 2021! Please take the time to fill out the attached nomination form and return it to Mr. Shillingstad by February 19th.
