Notes from Ms. Amundson

SD Week of Work 2024 - Ms. Amundson

The South Dakota Week of Work is already next week, April 8-12. SD Week of Work is a time to engage in, promote, and celebrate work-based learning in South Dakota schools. It’s an opportunity for students to explore and learn about various career opportunities. My classroom guidance lessons will be focused on career development and exploration in the next few weeks with the elementary and middle school students. In addition to this, I would like to invite parents of middle school students to come and talk to your children's class about your job or career! This would take place during my scheduled guidance class time with the middle school students at the following days/times next week:

6th Grade: Thursday, April 11th at 1:12-1:50 PM

7th Grade: Thursday, April 11th at 8:56-9:35 AM

8th Grade: Wednesday, April 10th at 9:40-10:20 AM

If you would like to come and tell your children's class about your career and the time slot works for you, please email me at Logan.Amundson@k12.sd.us or call me at 605-495-4183. It does not have to be anything formal; you would just be coming to talk to your child's class about your career (e.g., education needed, experience needed, job description, pros, cons, etc.). You can bring an activity that goes along with your job/career for students if you would like, but you do not have to.

We hope to have parent/guardian engagement during this year's Week of Work! Thank you in advance.

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.

It’s scholarship season! Seniors, check out the SD Scholarship Bulletin Board on Our Dakota Dreams. This feature not only shows state-offered scholarships (also featured on the SD Scholarships page), but also provides a platform for third-party entities to post their scholarships.
