Cass Lake-Bena Schools will utilize an e learning day tomorrow March 25. Students and staff will work from home. Due to the schduled late start lessons will be posted by 10:15 and teachers will be available by 10:30 via email, Rooms or the school website. Stay safe!

This is an FYI announcement. We are closely monitoring weather predictions for Sunday - Tuesday. Monday is currently scheduled as a late-start day for students. While our goal is to keep school open, IF it becomes clear that it isn't safe to transport students, we would call for an e-learning day for Monday. If that were to happen, you will be notified by our usual channels. Since Monday is a late start day for students, lessons would be posted by 10:15, and most student work should start at 10:30. Many teachers have already sent work home with students or have sent it today. Teachers are available on e-learning days via email or through Rooms in the app or on our website. The predictions right now are for a multi-day storm, and if necessary, we could utilize a snow day for Tuesday which would be made up April 12. Stay tuned for further updates!

The Cass Lake Robotics teams went over to Grand Forks, for the Great Northern Regional. It was a great weekend and both teams competed well on the field. The boys team 3275 finished in 23rd out of 56. They had a good robot with a good driver and despite some difficult pairings finished in the top half. Team 3134 the girls finished on 13th and were picked up by the number five alliance to ultimately end the day with a fourth place finish in eliminations. Team 3134 also won the Impact Award. This is the most prestigious award a team can be given in FIRST Robotics. It honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the mission of FIRST. It was created to keep the central focus of FIRST Robotics Competition on the ultimate goal of transforming the culture in ways that will inspire greater levels of respect and honor for science and technology, as well as encouraging more of today's youth to become science and technology leaders. This has guaranteed the Accelerators an invitation to the world championships held in Houston, Texas in April, and with the teams a solid performance on the field has all but guaranteed us a spot at the Minnesota State Championship in May. Congratulations to all the current girls and all the girls that have come before that have helped make this possible.
