Mr. Gross will be hosting Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Informational Night at SC to from 7pm – 8pm to inform parents about SAEs and the opportunities that exist through maintaining a high quality project. 

BREAKING NEWS:  School will dismiss at 12:30 on Friday, August 26th so that staff and students may attend the SBA Football game which starts at 2:30.  It’s an away game!

A form is being sent home with students today that announces the early dismissal on the 26th as well as needing volunteers on 9/9.  We are attempting to allow our students to attend/participate the Homecoming Parade in Woonsocket on September 9th.  To make this happen a lot of volunteers are needed.  Please check out the form and feel free to print it off and return it.

School pictures will be taken on Friday, August 19th.  Elementary students – please give your form to your teacher.  MS & HS students be sure to have your order form in your hand when you have your picture taken!

Yearbook alert!!!!!
We have discovered much to our dismay, that some of the yearbooks have pages stuck together!  If you received yours already please go through it page by page.  If pages are stuck together, please return it to the school immediately.  Thank you - Mrs. Danek and Yearbook Staff

Need a Blackhawk calendar – stop in the office!

BUSSING REMINDER
Please remember to send a note with any student whose afternoon drop off will not be the same place where they were picked up!   Do not assume that the school knows already

The free and reduced lunch forms can be found in the Menu Folder on our Google drive and were placed in your packet of forms.  You may complete the forms and return to the school at any time.
Qualified applications benefit the school district financially in both education and food service through federal funding.

FFA
All FFA members must log into the Agricultural Experience Tracker (TheAET) (www.theaet.com) and update their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) records.  If a member does not remember their username and password, they can contact Mr. Gross and he will get them their information so they can get in.  The minimum requirement for this project is 40 hours worked over the summer entered into the online system.  A grade will be assigned for this after the first two full weeks of school, August 26th.  If a member or parent has questions, please do not hesitate to email Mr. Gross at shane.gross@k12.sd.us.   

Do you have a child in 5th or 6th grade?  Want to play some B-Ball?  Check out the coach’s letter for extra practices!
