Parents and Community Members, during this legislative session, you will be hearing a lot of talk about Educational Savings Accounts, which was brought up by Governor Noem in her Budget Address. There are other terms you will hear including Vouchers, Educational Empowerment Accounts, and possibly others. If you have any questions about these topics and how they could possibly affect education, please feel free to reach out to myself or the school by phone or email. Mr. Hawkins

We will have a 10:00 AM start, tomorrow, Tuesday, January 21st. Mr. Hawkins

Families on the school census will receive a letter in the next month, but if you're not on the census, please contact Jen Klumb at Jennifer.Klumb@k12.sd.us or Mary Beyer at 227-4211. Additionally, anyone with children birth to age 4 can call to ensure they're included for early childhood updates.
