Families of Junior Learners: February 2025
On March 12th your Junior will be taking the ACT test at the school from 9:00 am to roughly 1:30pm. In understanding the mental strain on such a large exam, Northern Cass school is permitting Junior learners to be done with their school day after they finish the exam.
We will be offering breakfast to all Juniors starting at 8:15 in the Jag Den, it is free and covered by the school. We want all Juniors to be in their assigned rooms by 8:50am on March 12th.
In order to be excused and leave the building after their ACT Exam, learners must have a parent call or email (attendance@northerncassschool.com) the office before they are able to leave the building.
Please call or reach out if you have any questions about the day. Mrs. Tadych is our ACT Coordinator, she can be reached at mackenzie.tadych@northerncassschool.com.
Thank you.
Mr. Margerum
High School Principal

Northern Cass Middle School and High School is taking part in the 2025 North Dakota Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and the 2025 North Dakota Youth Tobacco Survey (YTS) sponsored by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction and Department of Health. The YRBS survey will ask about nutrition, physical activity, injuries, tobacco, alcohol, other drug use, sexual behavior and school climate. The content of the YTS survey includes tobacco questions related to: prevalence (electronic vapor products, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars, and pipes); knowledge and attitudes; cessation; environmental tobacco smoke; media and advertising; minors' access; and school curriculum.
Several documents are available for your review regarding the YRBS-YTS:
