Scotland youth center is having a tail gate at the rodeo grounds building (just east of the football field) from 5:00 to 7:00 serving a walking taco and bottle of water for $6.00. This is for the Football game tonight in Scotland.
There was an inaccuracy in the paper. Centerville school is NOT limiting attendance at home events. We also are charging admission. The information was to the public about an event that was at a different school. We will try to update you if away events have restrictions as the date gets closer. If you would like to attend our events we would love to have you. Please practice social distancing and wear a mask when you are unable to. I hope this helps clear up any questions from the public.
7 pm High School Football @ Scotland. If you can't make it here is the link to livestream:

Good Morning: With the uptick in positive cases we are moving from tier 2 to tier 3. The difference in tier 2 and tier 3 is that we will ask students to wear masks on the buses, in the hallways, and when social distancing isn't possible. Other changes that may happen: students stay in rooms and teachers move, student entrance for the school day, and lunch (in classrooms). If you have any questions, please email Eric.Knight@k12.sd.us Thanks
Due to technical difficulties the volleyball match tonight vs. Freeman will not live streamed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Good Evening: Just a reminder that we will be having fall school pictures tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 8th). Also, the weather has changed, please dress elementary students warm for morning recess. Thank you,
Parents: We made it through a little bit of a rough week. We hope that everyone takes the time over the long break to take a breath to relax. We also ask you to monitor the health of your children, social gathers, and social media. It is going to take a team effort to stay healthy and learning. Have a great long weekend!
Good morning. We are glad to have students back in the building and appreciate the chance to reconnect, meet new faces, and find a flow. Unfortunately, we are experiencing some negativity once again in the form of anonymous social media accounts. In a perfect world, these “anonymous” Instagram accounts would not exist and our Tornado students would not be involved. However, that is not the case. Although anonymous accounts can be traced when certain agencies are contacted, these accounts are still at the forefront of social media. At this time, we would like to raise awareness for parents and to encourage students to consider their morals and ethics and to fight the peer pressure to follow, create or post to these accounts. Show your Tornado Pride and decide to make choices that will set you up for success in the future and leave a positive legacy . We encourage you to not spread gossip, defame others, or submit content to one of your peers to shame others, it is NOT the Tornado way.
Parents, I encourage you to visit with your child about their online habits and the content they are seeking out. Please ask your child to be responsible with the content they create or follow on Instagram and other social media platforms.
