KATHY HINTZ (kathy.hintz{at}minotstateu.edu) is an assistant professor in education and social science at Minot State University, Minot, N.D. Abstract In June 2011, the Souris River flooded the city of Minot, N.D., destroying schools, businesses, and more than 4,000 houses. District administrators, staff, and teachers responded creatively to provide continuity for the students over a two-year period while three schools resided in temporary locations. The author details how the schools met these practical challenges and provides advice for schools on donations and creating a safe environment to help stressed children and staff focus on learning.
