Editing accounts will allow user history and all existing roles to remain connected to NDHSAA accounts. As schools transition to the new email addresses, users are reminded they must edit email addresses in the NDHSAA system. ND students and staff transitioning from their email addresses will have extensive time to transition. The EduTech team of North Dakota is working on rolling out Office 365 toward the beginning of October 2014. In July of 2008 the first fully confirmed wolf pack in many years was discovered in Okanogan county.Changing Email Addresses in NDHSAA Accounts As the wolf packs increase and expand their territory, Washington will once again have Gray Wolves. In recent years wolf populations have been re-established in surrounding states. Historically, wolves were found throughout most of the state, but because of human persecution in the 1930's all but a few were destroyed. It is considered an Endangered species in Washington. Gray Wolf - The Gray Wolf is the largest wild member of Canidae or Dog family. It is considered a State Endangered Species and is classified by USFWS as a Candidate species. Loss of this habitat has decreased the range and number of the species. The habitat for Oregon Spotted Frogs must include a shallow emergent wetland component. This frog is almost entirely aquatic in habit, leaving wetlands only occasionally for short duration. It is endemic to the Pacific Northwest (only occurring in that area). Oregon Spotted Frog - The Oregon Spotted Frog is a medium to large aquatic frog. They are considered critically imperiled. Striped Whipsnakes are very rare in the state. It appears that undisturbed shrub-steppe with a low cover of cheatgrass is a favored area. Little is known about the habitat requirements in Washington. The only other large striped snakes in Washington are the garter snakes. Striped Whipsnake - The Striped Whipsnake is a long slender snake that is dark above with alternating light and dark stripes down the length of the body. Threats include loss of nesting habitat due to logging activities and high predation rates due to human disturbances. USFWS has listed the Marbled Murrelet as a threatened species in Washington. It nests in old-growth and mature forests in the North Pacific. Marbled Murrelets - The Marbled Murrelet is a small seabird that is a member of the auk family. Orcas are highly vocal producing a variety of clicks and whistles used for communication and echolocation. Orcas live in a cohesive family group known as a pod which includes a mother Orca and all of her dependent offspring 10 years or younger. There are several resident populations living in Puget Sound. Orca or Killer Whale - The Orca, an Endangered species in Washington, is the largest species of the dolphin family. And yet others may simply be interesting because of some peculiarity in their life history. Others are less well-known, but are rare and need conservation attention: Striped Whipsnakes and Oregon Spotted Frogs. Some are iconic species that people associate with the Pacific Northwest and Washington State: Orcas, Salmon, Northern Spotted Owls. In this section we feature individual species for a variety of reasons. Washington has a great diversity of animal species.
