Due to our recent influx of numbers in preschool, please e-mail Mary Beyer at the school (Mary.Beyer@k12.sd.us) if you have a child who will be attending Ethan preschool next fall, August 2024. They would need to be 4 by September 1, 2024 to be eligible. Also, if you have a younger child who will eventually attend Ethan preschool and you have not called to get them on our school list, please consider notifying us as well. We want to make sure we have room for all of the in-district families, but some changes may need to be made to accommodate a large class. Looking ahead, Ethan's DIAL screenings and PreK registration will be March 12. All families on the list will be notified by mail.
Roads are snow covered this morning, however, the snow is very light and fluffy. If you do not feel like you can get your students to school, please make sure to contact us. Absences will be forgiven. Mr. Hawkins
