West Segment Hosts Back To School Bash
It’s a great way to encourage students in school and it also
helps the parents out with the cost of school supplies.
The Mandaree West Segment sponsored the back to school
bash for the students of the Mandaree school.
Teachers, parents and students were all on hand during the
back to school bash.
West Segment employees got together and sorted out all the
school supplies by grades and sorted them out onto tables.
The Water Chief Hall was full of students, parents and
teachers.
Pictured on the top are some of the students lined up to get their school
supplies. To your left is pictured some crayons, pens, pencils. Each table was
sorted out into grades so the students got their school supplies that they
needed in their grades.
Each table was filled with school supplies, from calculators to tablets to
notebooks needed for each class, high lighters, compasses, pens, and pencils
to fit the needs of our high school students.
In these photos you can see how full the tables were with
school supplies.

West Segment Hosts Back To School Bash
To make this more interesting and fun door prizes were awarded to ticket winners of
those who came and signed in. Everyone was given a ticket to win a door prize. The door
prizes were really nice, they gave away a tool kit, back packs already full of supplies,
speakers, blue ray dvd players, roaster ovens, reversible pillow top, dvd players, head
phones, a laptop and a computer with everything. There were much more door prizes that
aren’t listed here.
Everyone who came enjoyed a great meal, and when the door prizes were all given out
than Renae Phelan got her purse out and brought out four fifty dollar bills to give away to
the lucky winners whose numbers were called.
It was a great evening to visit with teachers and community members and to share a
great meal with everyone.

School Routines Back in full Swing:
Dates To Remember:
As students and teachers get back into the swing of school routines and
procedures are important to the overall smooth operation of each
classroom as well as the entire school building. Students and teachers
spent the first days of school establishing safe and common routines
throughout the school.
October 14, 2014: Picture Day– The school will pay $10 on
your child’s picture packet.
ICU Continues: The ICU Process is up and running again this school
year. ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit, just like the hospital. ICU is a
communication tool, a shared, school-wide document that tracks missing
students assignments. The document helps teachers and administrators
communicate with each other as well as with the students and their
parents. Students learn quickly that if they have a missing assignment;
their grade is sick and needs attention. The goal is to implement the
process and avoid students reaching the end of a semester and totally
disengage because they know they are not going to get the credit/grade.

Motorist To Use Caution & Share The Road With Farm Equipment During Harvest
608 East Boulevard Avenue, Bismarck, ND 58505-0700 Toll Free: 1-855-637-6237
Harvest Season is underway throughout the state and the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is urging
motorists to use caution as large farm equipment is out on the roadways this time of year.
“Motorist should be extremely cautions as they drive, especially on rural, two-lane roads, as slow moving farm equipment is
out on the roadways,” says Karin Mongeon, NDDOT Safety Division Director. “Most crashes are due to inattention, speeding
and unsafe passing. When approaching farm equipment, motorists need to pay attention, slow down and pass with extreme
caution.”
Farm equipment is very large and heavy making it difficult for operators to accelerate, slow down and stop. These vehicles
also have large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles.
In 2013, there was one fatal crash and 15 injury crashes in North Dakota involving farm equipment. “By taking extra
precautions on the roadway and safely sharing the road with farm equipment, crashes can be prevented,” stresses Mongeon.
Motorist are reminded to:

Watch for mud and debris on the roadway as trucks go directly from the field onto the highway.

Be aware that you can encounter farm equipment at any time of the day.

Drive with headlights on at all times.

Wear seatbelts. Seatbelts are your best protection against death and injury in the event of a crash.
In addition, farmers are reminded of the opportunity to get 10 percent extra weight permits that can be issued to expedite the
first haul of farm products during harvest. Additionally, farmers should be aware that road construction projects are finishing up
this time of year as well. Some roads may be inaccessible to large farm equipment.
Farm equipment operators should consider the following precautions:

Use lights and flashers to make equipment more visible.

Use slow moving emblems on equipment traveling less than 30 mph.

Consider using a follow vehicle when moving equipment, especially at night.
