Parents, we have been contacted by a family to let us know that they have dealt with a case of head lice. This message is a reminder, that if a child in school is found to have head lice, our policy states that they will be sent home and may not return until they have been treated with the proper medication. The following link, https://doh.sd.gov/media/1zpc23za/head_lice_diseases_fact_sheet.pdf, is a document from the Department of Health that can guide you in recognizing the signs of head lice and how you can get rid of them if you do indeed find them in your household. If the link is not highlighted, you can copy it and paste it in your browser. Mr. Hawkins

Parents/Community - We will continue using the Gym Calendar for access to both gymnasiums. If you want to schedule a time, please put your name down on the calendar. If coming individually to shoot around or workout no need to put your name down however you might want to see if the gyms are open. During sports season the gym is occupied after school and please reference the Athletics calendar for game nights. If you need access to this sharable calendar please e-mail mary.beyer@k12.sd.us and I'll send instructions. This will continue throughout the year, right now August - January 2025 is available.
