Cass Lake-Bena Public Schools - #CLBSPANTHERS

Families! Just a reminder that Fall Sports 6th-12th start on August 12th! Make sure all of the paperwork is in for your child. The all sports/activities meeting on Aug 8th from 4pm-6pm will be a good way to make sure everything is turned in. If you have any questions please contact Caleb Travis at cttravis@isd115.net or (218) 335-2204 ext 1102.

Attention! Student/Parents/Guardians/Involved Relatives/Parent Committee Members/Involved Community Members!! We need feedback on how we did with 21st Century Grant (aka 21CLCC) at Cass Lake-Bena Schools. as far as the activities that took place or we are wrapping up. It's important to us that we are listening and improve on programming as we can for all families. We also need this data to show what is needed to our grantors for continued funding. There have been comments in the community saying they wished they had these opportunities when they were in school so let's keep it going as long as we can! Separate surveys from youth and other family/community members in each of our families are also highly encouraged. We know it's a long survey of 20 questions, but the higher feedback we get. the better we can improve programming and obtain continued and maybe even longer funding beyond these first 3 years that we have the grant for. -Miigwech for your input! Here is the link to the survey!! https://forms.gle/AdrYmazzqTHUrQ5b9
