ACADEMICS
After some discussion, we have decided to try a different means to notify the parents of students who have D’s and F’s.  Teachers will have grades posted Thursday’s at noon and the list will be generated.  Rather than mailing letters which often parents don’t see, we will be making phone calls which will also save some money.  If we are unable to leave a voice message, we will send an e-mail or a hard copy.  If you definitely want your notifications delivered in the mail or with an e-mail, please contact Mrs. Vermeulen at connie.vermeulen@k12.sd.us  or Mr. Siemsen at justin.siemsen@k12.sd.us or by phone at 605-495-4183.

Seniors – Upcoming Scholarship dates:

On Sunday April 10th we will start bag checks at Woonsocket at 11: 50 a.m. and plan to leave by 12:10 p.m. We will then stop at Sanborn Central and plan to leave there by 12:30 p.m. and finally stop at Artesian and plan to leave there by 1:00 p.m.  Members have received a packet with forms that must be signed and the rules for State Convention.  Some of these must be provided in duplicate.  There are extra copies in the packet for those forms that must be provided in duplicate.  Please bring these forms back to Mr. Gross at the school as soon as they are completed.
