“Children need all school workers. A person is not ‘just’ a janitor, not ‘just’ a cook, not ‘just’ an aide, not ‘just’ the librarian, and not ‘just’ a bus driver. Janitors can see children when teachers don’t see them. Bus drivers recognize that children who are disruptive on the bus are likely to be disorderly in the classroom. Cooks provide more than just nutrition, librarians more than just words to read, and hugs come from all sources.  They are partners in education. We need each other to make this work.”
Taken in part from Rev. Jesse Jackson

Notice on Lessons (5th-8th students)
It is not Mr. Kroeger’s or the classroom teacher’s responsibility to make sure that a student is showing up to their lessons. I was very lenient last quarter on grades because of the hectic schedule and being sick. For the rest of the school year, students need to: Show up to their lessons and practice 100 minutes to get a perfect grade. Not turning in a practice sheet is like not turning in homework for another class. This will result in a poor grade so please make sure your student understands this. Any questions or concerns, please email at brett.kroeger@k12.sd.us  

Attention 8th-12th Band Parents: There will be a parent meeting Tuesday Nov. 12th at 6 pm in the Sanborn Central Music Room. The meeting will be to discuss the meal for the band concert Nov. 26th and other logistics.
