The 8th Graders will be out on Thursday for a career fair from 8:30-2:30. 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!

Notes from Mrs. L Gassman

The spring 2026 semester dual credit classes begin on Monday, January 12th! I have been working with students to get logged into their courses, determine if textbooks need to be purchased, and help locate where they pay their tuition/bill on their college's website. 

Students should review their course's syllabus prior to Monday to understand the expectations of their course(s).

Here are the important deadlines per each college:

Dropping vs. Withdrawing:

Dropping a course means you stop taking the class early on, usually at the beginning of the term.

• The course does not show up on your transcript.
• It does not affect your grade or GPA; it's essentially as if the course didn't happen.

Withdrawing from a course means you leave the class after the drop period has ended; more towards the end of the semester.

• The course does show up on your transcript, often as a “W” (withdrawal).
• A “W” grade does not affect your GPA, but it shows that you started the class and did not finish it. Once you take the course again in college, your grade in the course would replace the "W" grade on your transcript.

In short:

• Drop = early, no record
• Withdraw = later, shows as a W
  Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns!
