Web Site Tip for Calendars:  You can download events into your phone’s calendar by following these steps:
                On the ap go to events:  There is a filter at the top that will allow you to filter through all the events - the one labeled district has days off etc.  There is a filter for each sport, music, academics, FFA, etc.
           Select the filter for district and it should list all the district dates for the year. 
           Below each date is a calendar icon and if you click on that it gives you the option to save it to your calendar.

I’m hoping to have a “One Click” method in the near future.  Please contact Mary at mary.ackman@k12.sd.us if you are having problems with the web site or if you find something that should be added.

Upcoming Breakfast-WW Waffle Sticks, Maple Syrup
Upcoming Lunch-Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup, WG Tortilla Chips, Refried Beans, Mandarin Oranges
