MOORHEAD HIGH SCHOOL

TRANSFORMATION PROJECT

Construction on the new Moorhead High School facility began in the Spring of 2021. This multi-year project is being built on the current site of Moorhead High School. The two phase construction project is part of the district’s vision to transform the 9-12 experience which began with the opening of MHS career academy in the fall of 2021. For frequent updates on the construction progress visit www.isd152.org/construction or follow us on social media @MoorheadSchools.

Phase One

The first phase includes the commons, academic wings, pool and gym. Staff and students will move into this part of the building sometime during the 2023-24 school year. Then the old high school will be demolished and phase two construction will begin.

• The new high school is close to 400,000 square feet, over 60,000 square feet larger than the old school.

• Large windows cover the exterior, allowing natural light to seep into every space in the building.

• The academic wings feature mini commons to allow students study space in a smaller setting, group work rooms and a Spud study room where students can sign up to work on homework with teachers.

• The gym has two levels with a three lane track on the second level and standing room for spectators to watch from above. Bleachers pull out to the main court with seating for 3,000 people.

• North of the gym is the new swimming pool. Windows on the second level connect the spaces and allow view into the pool area. The pool provides two additional competition lanes with room for 300 spectators.

Phase Two

Phase two will consist of administrative offices, a 1000 seat theater, athletic spaces and a multi-purpose activity space. This phase is expected to be completed in the 2025-26 school year.

Financial aid is not available through the district.

This 30-hour class prepares students for their instructional permit. Steps for people under 18 years of age to get a Minnesota driver's license:

1. Complete mandatory 30 hours of scheduled classroom instruction. Students cannot be absent or tardy when attending this course. A 90-minute parent component will be scheduled for this class in compliance with Minnesota law. If the parent class is taken then the practice driving hours are reduced from 50 hours to 40.

2. Register for behind-the-wheel training, with a private vendor and receive the blue card. The blue card is issued by the vendor providing the behindthe-wheel instruction and is required to take the state permit test.

3. Take and pass the state permit test. Students registering for the permit test must provide: one primary ID, one secondary ID and the blue card. Primary ID options: state issued ID, current passport or state certified birth certificate. Secondary ID options: Social Security card, student ID with picture and ID number, or certified school transcript. Upon passing the permit test, making payment, and parent/guardian signature, students receive their permit.

4. Complete behind-the-wheel training. Students must have a permit before they can start behindthe-wheel instruction.

5. Complete the six-month practice period. Minnesota law now requires drivers to have a permit for six months before taking the road test. Every driver under the age of 18 who completes behind-the-wheel instruction and is testing for a provisional driver’s license must submit a driving log.

6. Pass road test. To take the road test, students must be 16 years old and have had their permit for six months. Drive on provisional license until qualifications for full license are met.

You must complete all 30 hours of scheduled class to be able to get your permit. If the 30 hours are not completed you will have to register and pay full price for the class again. No absences or tardies allowed. Please note location at registration. Students must attend all 30 hours in person.

A special learning time called “circle time” may consist of music, finger plays, movement activities, a book, flannel board stories, puppets and anything else our teacher can dream up. The second hour, parents discuss topics of interest with each other and a licensed parent educator. Children enjoy play time with a licensed early childhood educator.

*Note - You know your child best. For separating classes, if your child is not ready to seaparate, you are welcome to stay with your child the entire class time.

Family Connections (Birth to kindergarten entry)

Bring us your moms, dads, grandparents, infants, toddlers and preschoolers! We will enjoy our time together in theme-related activities, play and learning. Young children learn best by exploring materials firsthand.

Register Early

Register early so you won't be disappointed. Often classes reach the maximum enrollment quickly. Also, classes depend on minimum enrollments. Don't take a chance your class may be full or canceled.

Are You In?

Class confirmations and reminders are sent to those who have provided email addresses. If your class is canceled, we will contact you. If you haven't heard from us, simply show up for your class and enjoy.

Inclement Weather

If Moorhead schools are canceled, Community Education classes are canceled as well. Check the district's website at moorheadschools. org for announcements or listen to one of the major local TV or radio stations.

Instructors

Some Community Education classes are taught by independent business professionals and are intended to provide information. We do not endorse any opinions, products or suggestions expressed in these classes.

Policy of Nondiscrimination

Moorhead Area Public Schools is hereby advising students, parents, employees and the general public that all employment, vocational and regular education opportunities will be offered without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, family care leave status or veteran status. The district also certifies that the Human Resources Office shall ensure that efforts are continually made to provide a drugfree environment. Employees and students will receive education and assistance as needed, and may be suspended, expelled or discharged for violations regarding drug use or policy violations.

Reasonable Accomodation

Community Education welcomes participants of all abilities. Reasonable accommodations (i.e. elevator access, large-print visuals, etc.) are available. Please contact us at least two weeks prior to the activity start date to request an accommodation.

Cancellation Policy

Unless otherwise specified, if you must cancel, we can give a full refund only if you notify the Community Education Offce at least 48 hours prior to the first class meeting. Refunds after a class as begun will be given only in extreme circumstances and will be subject to a $5 processing fee. In the unlikely event your class is canceled, we will give a full refund.

Scholarship Information

A limited number of scholarships are available to school district residents demonstrating extreme financial need. These scholarships may include Community Education classes and activities. They do not apply to Driver Education, AARP Smart Driver or Certificate courses. Application forms are available at the Community Education Office or by calling 218-284-3400.

High School Students

High school students are welcome to register for classes that don't have an age limit. All other students are welcome to attend classes that include their age in the description (usually found in youth and family section).

Acceptable Behavior

Unsafe behavior will result in immediate dismissal from the class.

If for any reason, your class does not meet your expectations, we will credit or refund your class fee. We offer this guarantee because we believe our classes will meet or exceed your expectations. It is our goal to develop lasting relationships built on quality programs and excellent service.
