Due to the reduced size of our office we are not able to take in flowers, balloons, presents, gift bags, or other deliveries for students. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. 

If you are planning to take your student out of school early (or if they will be missing several days) please call ahead to the office and let us know. For one or more full day absences the students are given a 'blue sheet' to collect their missing work.  The work is supposed to be done ahead of time, so please let us know in a timely manner.  Notes should be brought to the office instead of the homebase teacher. 

You can email the office at any time (simle_secretary@bismarckschools.org), fax us your request at 701-323-4605, or call us at 701-323-4600 and leave a message. We greatly appreciate your cooperation - thank you!
