Reminder for tomorrow:

Yesterday, will walked back into the classroom for the first time since leaving school abruptly on March 13, 2020 due to the coronavirus. Students ended the year in a remote learning environment, missing out on important face-to-face instruction and relationships with teachers and friends.
As students and staff return to school this fall, they will bring their collective experiences with them and make a fresh start.
As we prepare to greet them, we are asking our entire community to come together to support our staff and our students with the message that no matter the learning space - we are ALL in this “together.” Hang a royal blue ribbon in your window. Write “together” in window paint. Decorate your home and office to show support. Let staff and students know you’re standing by them. You care about them. You wish them success.
We know school won’t look and feel exactly the same this year.
But, school is still school – a place where hope and possibility meet for a bright future.
We are better “together.”


Good Morning Students, Happy first day of school. Our parking lot is being worked on. Students will need to park at the bus barn or Catholic Church across from the library.

Open House: As a district, we are preparing for the return of our students and the start of the 2020-2021 school year. The pandemic and Covid-19 have required us to change how we handle a variety of items within our district. Open house is very popular and draws a large crowd for us. To help reduce the number of people we have in a classroom or our building at once we are spacing the open house out. We will have our back to school open house on Monday, August 17th from 10:00am-8:00pm. We are asking families to sign up for a 25-minute time slot, we are allowing 6 families per slot. If you and your family are able to attend during the day, we ask that you sign for a day time slot. We have many families that will need an evening time slot because of work and travel. Our open house will be for our preschoolers through eighth grade students. Our high school students have separate registration times. Please sign up using the Google Doc link below with your family name and grade levels (Knight (Nash K, Ellie 4, Boche 6, Luke 8). If you have questions or a time does not work for you once you have had a chance to sign up, please contact Mr. Knight, 605-563-2291 or Eric.Knight@k12.sd.us
Please follow the link below to sign your family up.
Thank you,
