The first few days of school at North Mahaska this year will be short ones.  School begins Wednesday (8/25), with classes dismissing at 1pm Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (8/25-27) because of high temperatures forecast in the mid-90s.  North Mahaska is in the process of installing air conditioning, but the project isn’t finished yet.  Also, junior high practices at North Mahaska will not be held until this coming Monday, August 30 because of the early dismissal.
