📣 North Dakota is seeking input from parents, educators, students, and community members on responsible technology use in our classrooms.

State Superintendent Levi Bachmeier, alongside legislative and executive leaders, has launched a statewide survey to gather public perspectives on how technology can best support student learning. The survey is open now through August 1.

The survey asks participants to weigh in on topics including:
📱 Device use limits at the elementary level
🏠 Whether students should take devices home
🖥️ Monitoring software on school-issued devices
📅 Virtual instruction policies and make-up days

"Educational technology should be a tool, not a toy. Students, families, and educators want technology that supports meaningful instruction while reducing distractions from passive use." – Superintendent Bachmeier

Survey results will inform policy recommendations ahead of the 2027 legislative session, building on the success of North Dakota's phone-free schools legislation.

Take the survey here 👉 https://forms.office.com/g/PqMeZdCaUu

🎉 Congratulations to our Grand Forks Public Schools Quarter 4 Employees of the Quarter! 🎉

👏 Classified Employee of the Quarter: Jason Syvertson
Jason goes above and beyond every day for students and staff at Red River. Whether he’s checking in on classrooms, fixing problems, finding solutions, or simply stopping by to say hello, Jason’s positivity and dedication make a lasting impact. If he doesn’t know how to fix something, he finds someone who does — and his willingness to help never goes unnoticed. Red River is lucky to have Jason on the team!

👏 Certified Employee of the Quarter: Randy Votava
Randy exemplifies what it means to put students first. From leading physical education PLCs and coaching VEX Robotics for the past 7 years to supporting intramurals, track, rallies, and even helping as a custodian, Randy’s dedication to South Middle School is unmatched. He continually looks for innovative ways to engage students, create opportunities for all learners, and build meaningful relationships that encourage student success. His passion, leadership, and school pride make a tremendous difference across GFPS.

Thank you, Jason and Randy, for your commitment to our students, schools, and community! Grand Forks Foundation for Education & Alumni Network
