Notes from Ms. Amundson
Dakota Dreams Career Exploration Summer Camps applications are open
Applications are now open for incoming 7th and 8th graders to attend the Dakota Dreams Career Exploration Summer Camps. Applications are due March 31, so please help share the news with students and parents. You may find the Spread the News Promotional Toolkit useful, which includes a parent letter template and social graphics. These five-day career camps will allow students to explore exciting careers, meet professionals, and dive into hands-on activities that unleash creativity and ignite passion. Below are the camp dates and locations. Find the application form here. Each camp will accept 100 participants. As mentioned earlier, the deadline to apply is March 31. Students are expected to be notified of acceptance via email by mid-April 2024. If availability is limited at a particular site, preference will be given to students from school districts categorized as Title I or as having high absenteeism during COVID. The Dakota Dreams Career Exploration Summer Camps are a partnership of the South Dakota Board of Regents, South Dakota Technical Colleges, South Dakota businesses and industry, and the South Dakota Department of Education (DOE). The camps are funded with federal dollars available to DOE through the American Rescue Plan Act. Questions? Contact Molly Weisgram.

I am reaching out to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, along with parents/guardians to inform you of the upcoming ACT dates and prep sessions. 
The next ACT is being offered on Saturday, April 13th. Students are able to take this ACT in Huron, Mitchell, or Madison in the morning. Please note that our prom is on the same day as this ACT. There are ACT test dates available this summer on June 8 and July 13. Additionally, we are planning to have the district ACT offered here at the school again this coming fall 2024. This allows students to take the ACT during the regular school day, here at the school. 
Students can register for the ACT online at act.org and must be done by March 8th to avoid late fees. I would like to remind you that students who qualify for free or reduced lunches can take the ACT for FREE. Please come see me before registering to receive your voucher code to take advantage of this opportunity if you are eligible.
