August 18, 2015

Tomorrow is the first day of school and everyone is excited!!!!  
Packets are due in the office Friday, August 28th!

Reminder to bus students - You will be dropped off at the same location that you were picked up unless the bus driver/office have been notified and it has been approved.  Students will not be dropped off any other place than the designated spot without parent notification. We don't want students going to another location without parent approval.  

At a session on liability issues at the ASBSD/SASD Convention the administration and school board were informed that it is a liability risk to allow students to play on the playground when there is a school-sponsored event without supervision. This also includes all those playing extra "football" games on either sideline or end zone areas.  
             NOTICE:  Children will no longer be allowed to play on the playground during volleyball or basketball games or any other school event without adult supervision.  During football games Mrs. Vermeulen will be watching the playground during the games but it is preferred that adults supervise their own children.  There will be NO extra football games at any time!

Did you pick up your Blackhawk Calendar last night?  We still have some in the office.

Mrs. Danek has the year books!

WANTED HS Soccer Players - Male or Female!!!!  The Soccer Coop consisting of  Mount Vernon, Mitchell Christian, and Sanborn Central needs players. Currently they have 10 kids that are actively playing on the team. 11 players are needed to play a game but according to state rules we can play with as few as 7. However, the AD from Mitchell Christian has said that if there are not at least 13 players by Wednesday the team would be suspended.  It doesn't matter if you have never played before or are inexperienced we have lots of practices and you’ll be fine. I am also able to  help by carpooling If there's just anyway you would be willing to help spread the word.          Thank you, Tyler Johnson 605-630-9926

School Pictures will be taken Friday, August 21st!!!!

Due to Highmore/Harrold not fielding a football team this year we will play the Hanson Beavers on September 4th instead - site to be determined.

The schedule for the Hanson 8 Team volleyball tournament has been updated on our Google Drive.

FFA Parents/Students
This year, we will be sharing junior and senior Agricultural Education classes between Sanborn Central and Woonsocket. On Orange/White Days during 4th block, I will take the senior Ag students from Sanborn Central to Woonsocket to have a combined Ag IV class. On Blue/Red Days during 4th block, I will then take junior Ag students from Woonsocket to Sanborn Central to have Ag III. Each school will still offer Ag I (freshmen), Ag II (sophomores), and Middle School Ag for students in their respective school. Transportation for the Ag classes will be done as a group and provided by the school districts. Through this sharing arrangement, we have been able to expand the Agricultural Education course offerings available to students at each school.  Alternative plans will be made in the case of inclement weather during the winter.  Student safety is our number one priority. If you have any questions about this process or the SC/W agricultural education curriculum, please contact me at shane.gross@k12.sd.us .


HS Students - you have until Wednesday, September 2nd to add or drop a class.  Any questions, please contact Mr. Siemsen at justin.siemsen@k12.sd.us
