Notes from Mrs. Gassman
Dear 8th Grade Parents and Guardians,

Permission Slips:
I will be sending home permission slips with the students this Thursday, December 4th. These must be signed and returned to me in order for your child to attend. Please return all permission slips by Thursday, December 18, 2025, before Christmas break.
Event Schedule (January 15):
About the Career Fair:
The purpose of the 8th Grade Career Fair is to introduce students to various educational pathways and career options. The fair will feature age-appropriate, hands-on activities designed to both engage and educate students about future opportunities. The event is sponsored by Wagner Community Memorial Hospital–Avera, with some booths in the Camp Med lane provided in collaboration with the South Dakota Department of Health (SDDOH).
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to a great learning experience for our students!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Gassman
