N-K meals will continue into the 2020 summer!
The Keewatin Elementary Needs form I referenced in a voicemail to parents yesterday is live and can be found here: https://bit.ly/KESEdNeedsForm2020
If you choose to submit information regarding needs your child may have for 2020-2021 classroom placement, please submit all comments by 11:59pm on Monday, June 1st.
N-K Families: Please return district technology (ipads, hot spots, Chromebooks) to KES or NKHS between May 28-June 2. We will be open at both doors at each school between 8AM-3PM. Drop off textbooks too. Contact the office if you need to keep a device over the summer. Thanks!
HELP NEEDED! The Itasca County board recently passed a resolution to initiate a crowdsourcing broadband speed test across the County. We want to help the County get good data because this data will help improve broadband access in our area.
All you need to do is click the link, let the test run, and that's it! Do this at home, at the cabin, and repeat it at different times of the day if you are able. If you are in a location with no broadband service, fill in the address and the map will reflect no service.

St. Louis County recently completed this project and it has resulted in some valuable data. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and this will hopefully lead to better broadband in the near future. Thank you for your time and cooperation!
ALSO, PLEASE SHARE! THANKS!
