Hello, Cass Lake-Bena Elementary families!

This is Principal Grover with a special announcement!

This Friday, October 30th, we are going to try something we haven't done in a very long time—Halloween Dress-Up Day!

We want to give our students an opportunity to have a little fun, show their creativity, and enjoy the day together. However, we also want to make sure we do it responsibly so we can consider continuing this tradition in the future.

Here are a few important expectations:

No masks or costume weapons will be allowed.

Students must arrive at school already dressed in their costumes or be able to put them on independently.

Parents should not take students out of class to help them change into costumes.

Costumes must be school-appropriate and allow students to participate safely in their regular learning activities.

Our goal is to make this a fun, positive experience while keeping learning and safety our priorities.

We're excited to give this a try, and with everyone's cooperation, we're hopeful it can become something our students look forward to each year!

Thank you, families, for your continued support. Have a wonderful day! Doctor Grover.

I wanted to share what information we can regarding today’s campus-wide shelter in place. We were contacted by a parent who shared that their student had received a forwarded message on a social media platform. The original message was from an unknown source. The original message was not a direct threat; it relayed that the writer had heard there was going to be a shooting at “A” lunch at CHS. This is not a direct reference to Cass Lake-Bena Schools, however, we take all reports of potential threats seriously. Our school resource officer followed up on the report, and out of an abundance of caution, we decided to enter into a shelter in place at all our schools. Local law enforcement coordinated with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate the post. The MN BCA determined the original post was from out of state and have handed the matter over to the FBI. There is no direct threat to any of our schools. Thank you to our law enforcement partners for their support. Thank you for your understanding. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority and we will always err on the side of caution to protect our CLBS family.
