🚛 ↪️ Why is that truck moving left when its right turn signal is on?

Large trucks need additional room to make turns and may swing wide before completing them.

For new drivers, there's one particularly important rule:

Never try to squeeze between a turning truck and the curb.

Learn more about safely navigating around large trucks in the NDMCA Teen Driving Center.

🏈 Longhorn Nation—let’s pack the sidelines! Join us Saturday, Oct. 24 in Berthold for the playoff tailgate from 12–1:30 PM, then cheer on L&C vs. Kidder County at 2 PM! Purple & black, loud & proud! 🤘 #LCLonghorns #LCSD

Just a reminder of the early out today.

🛑 Your car can stop faster than a fully loaded truck.

Large trucks need more time and distance to slow down or stop.

That's why one of the most important lessons for new drivers is simple:

Don't cut closely in front of a truck after passing. Give them room.

Learn more about stopping distance and safely sharing the road with commercial vehicles in the NDMCA Teen Driving Center.

🚛 Can the truck driver see you?

Large trucks have significant blind spots around the front, back and sides of the vehicle.

One simple rule for new drivers:

If you can't see the truck driver in the truck's mirror, don't assume the driver can see you.

Learn where a truck's blind spots are — and how to safely navigate around them — through the NDMCA Teen Driving Center.

Parents: Share this with your teen and see how much they know about a truck's blind spots.

It's Teen Driver Safety Week
🚗 Do you have a teen driver?

👉 Explore the NDMCA Teen Driving Center: https://www.ndmca.org/teendrivercenter/

Learning to drive doesn’t stop when they leave driver’s ed. Some of the most important lessons happen with a parent or trusted adult sitting in the passenger seat.

As your teen gains experience behind the wheel, help them learn how to safely share the road with large trucks and commercial vehicles.

The NDMCA Teen Driving Center provides interactive resources you can explore together, including:

🚛 Understanding a truck’s blind spots
🛑 Why trucks need more room to stop
↪️ How to safely navigate around wide turns
🚗 Tips for safely sharing the road with commercial vehicles

Take a few minutes to explore it with your teen — then talk about what they learned the next time you’re in the car together.

Today, I attended the funeral of Aaron Lentz. The church was packed with family, friends, and people whose lives he had touched. Among them were two football teams—the Minot High Magicians coached by Chauncey Hendershot  and the Lewis and Clark Longhorns coached by Paul Rudolph—showing up to support their teacher, coach, teammate, and friend grieving someone they loved. As I sat in the back of the church, I was reminded that some of the most meaningful lessons we teach happen outside a classroom. Public schools teach academics, but we also help children learn how to be part of a community. We teach them to look beyond themselves, recognize when others are hurting, and understand that sometimes the most important thing they can do is simply show up.  Today, those lessons were visible in the presence of these young men. Football brought them together as teammates. Compassion brought them into that church. I sat there as a proud mother-in-law, mother, principal, teacher, former athletic director, and former coach. My pride was rooted in seeing our students demonstrate care and respect during a difficult day. Thank you to superintendents Marc Ritteman and Scott Faul for allowing these young men to attend, support the Lentz family, and stand beside members of their school communities. Thank you to the coaches, staff, and families who help teach these values every day. To the Lentz family: you are loved, and our school communities stand with you. Rest in peace, Aaron Lentz.

Jacey Erickson, Lewis and Clark’s technology integrator, visited North Shore Plaza’s English classes in grades 8–12 to explain how generative AI and machine learning work and how they are used in a variety of AI applications. Thank you, Jacey, for helping our students better understand the technology shaping their world! Also, a shoutout to the NSP students for dressing up in support of our volleyball team’s PINK night.
