Co-op Announcement
On Wednesday, July 2nd, the Four Winds School Board voted to dissolve its volleyball, girls/boys basketball and cross country co-op with Minnewaukan Public School. This will begin with the 2026-2027 school year. Our school will explore all options available to continue to provide extra-curricular opportunities to our students. This will include hosting our own activities as well as reaching out to area schools to discuss co-op possibilities. Our main priority is to ensure all students will continue to have the opportunity to participate in the extra-curricular activities that are important to them. Thank you for your patience and assistance as we move forward.

Minnewaukan School still has job openings for the upcoming school year. Interested persons should call or email Mr. Dennis (kent.dennis@k12.nd.us). These positions can be full or part-time. We are looking for a custodian and a kitchen assistant. The kitchen assistant would help with meal preparation, serving meals, dishwashing and taking lunch counts.
