Women Empowering Women to host Code: POSSIBLE – A Computer Coding Camp for Girls
Girls from southwestern North Dakota entering 10th and 11th grade in the fall of 2023 are invited to participate in a FREE computer coding camp the week of June 4 through 9. Camp will be held at Dickinson Middle School. Camp kicks off with an introduction to how computers work, coding software, peripherals, and electronic circuits. Campers will use Chibitronics products that blend circuit building and programming with arts and crafts. Campers will create circuits on paper using copper tape and LED lights.
Campers will also use the Adafruit Playground Circuit Express to continue coding and downloading to a physical device. Campers’ complete tutorials on block based coding and downloading the code to the device. The Playground Circuit Express device is used when you want sensors, buttons, and touchpads to trigger events like lights and sound, as well as an infrared (IR) transmitter and receiver to create interactive games. In addition to the above activities, campers will create an account on code.org where they can engage with Interactive Animations and Games. Campers will be able to continue their coursework online through their CS Discoveries program account at @ www.code.org. Each camper will keep their camp computer to make sure they have access to their Code.org account.
The Coding Camp for Girls is hosted by Women Empowering Women in collaboration with the Roughrider Area Career and Tech Center (RACTC). Funding for the Camp came from a “Students Preparing for Nontraditional Fields” grant from the North Dakota Career and Technical Education program.
The course is FREE. Registration is limited to the first 16 campers. Girls from any southwestern North Dakota school are welcome. Register with Ronda Shauer at ronda.shauer@k12.nd.us or 701-928-1676.
Women Empowering Women is dedicated to the collaboration of women to meet needs and helping women become the best versions of them self. To learn more see https://wewnetwork.org.

Good morning! Just a reminder that all are invited for the concert at 1:00 PM. If parents wish to take their children home with them after the concert, they are free to do so. Please stop at the office and let our secretary know if you take your children, especially if they typically ride the bus home. Buses are running at their usual time.
Let’s celebrate Christmas tomorrow! Everyone at school is invited to wear Christmas pajamas, Christmas socks, Santa hats, reindeer antlers, and/or Ugly Christmas sweaters…whatever sounds like fun to you! We look forward to seeing everybody.
The Christmas Concert has been rescheduled for Tuesday, December 20, at 1:00 PM in the old gym. The old gym will be reserved for the music department beginning Monday morning and will be available for practice after school on Tuesday.
We will have another day of virtual learning tomorrow, Friday, December 16, 2022. All activities are postponed.
Just a reminder that all students must be checking in on TEAMS to be counted as present for virtual days.
Due to the continued inclement weather, the district will have virtual learning on Thursday, December 15, 2022.
With the winter storm that is supposed to impact us over the next few days we have made the decision to have virtual school tomorrow and Wednesday, December 13 & 14. Please have students log into TEAMS for their lessons and assignments. The Christmas Concert will be rescheduled to December 20 during the day, time to be announced. We will let you know about Thursday as it gets closer. Stay safe and warm!

A winter storm is projected to impact our area starting Tuesday, December 13 and continuing through Wednesday, December, 14, and possibly Thursday, December 15, 2022. We originally had a professional development day scheduled for Wednesday, however in the event the storm does affect us, the day will be changed to a virtual learning day. Students will take their devices home with them on Monday, December, 12 and school will be held virtually in the event school is closed due to inclement weather.
