Ready or Not - school is starting August 25th. The district has been readying the building and teachers attended training this week. We are looking forward to seeing all the happy and smiling faces in the building again. See ya soon!

This past week, teachers spent time learning. On Tuesday, August 12, the teachers and paras went to Mitchell and joined several other school districts to listen to Trevor Muir who is a passionate educator, speaker, and author who believes in the transformative power of education and then in the afternoon they met with other colleagues from other districts in their grade level and/or content area. On Wednesday, August 13, we started the day with a presenter who shared information ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences ) - which helps educators understand the dynamics that trauma has on an individual and community. It explains the connection between brain development and adaptive behaviors in people who have experienced trauma and discuss resiliency and how to build it. We also spent time learning about opioid overdoses and training in how to use Narcan in those situations, LifeVac, which is a tool that can assist in a choking situation and reviewing our Success Action Plan. On Thursday, August 14, we started that day with Threat Preparedness/Active Shooter Training and then finished the day with reviewing and training in our local crisis/emergency operations plan. It was a full three days for staff in the areas of safety in all factions of student and staff life. The presenters for the ACES training and the Active Shooter Training are from the SD School Safety Program. SD Dept of Public Safety

If you are an existing family but you have a new child to add – I believe you should either see New Student Registration button or once you get into your account, there is a button to add a new student.
