Parents, I am happy to announce that we will be able to offer school bus transportation for the 2024-2025 school year. However, we have the bare minimum for bus drivers and are still in need of another part-time driver. If you have any interest in becoming a bus driver, please contact the school. We also want you to be aware that at any time, we may have to cancel routes if something unforeseen happens to one of our current drivers. For example, if there were a long-term illness or injury that prevented them from driving. Please make sure you have a plan in place, just in case the unforeseen should happen. Mr. Hawkins

Exciting News: Both gyms are now open! They look amazing, and we want to keep them in top shape. Please respect the facilities and avoid causing any damage.

Due to the Ethan gym closure, Ambush workouts on Monday, June 17 will have to be postponed to Monday, July 22. Sorry for any inconvenience. -Jen Klumb
Effective tomorrow, June 11th, at 6 AM, BOTH gymnasiums will be CLOSED for maintenance. This includes the gyms, locker rooms, and weight room. Unfortunately, access to ALL these areas will be unavailable during this period. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will inform you as soon as they are reopened.
This summer, we're making every effort to prepare for the upcoming school year, which includes thoroughly cleaning rooms, lockers, and closets. To facilitate this, we ask that all students refrain from leaving any belongings in the locker rooms. Today, all items will be removed from the locker rooms and placed on the stage. Please check the stage for any of your belongings. We will inform you when you can return items to the locker rooms after the cleaning is completed. Unclaimed items at a later time will be donated. Thank you for your cooperation. If questions, e-mail mary.beyer@k12.sd.us.
