As we begin this new school year together, I want to take a moment to extend a warm, heartfelt welcome to our students, teachers, administrators, and staff.

To our students:
We are so excited to see you back in our classrooms and hallways. Every school year brings fresh opportunities to discover new passions, overcome challenges, build lasting friendships, and reach your goals. Approach this year with curiosity, kindness, and determination—we are all in your corner cheering you on!

To our teachers:
Thank you for your relentless dedication, creativity, and passion. You are the heart of our schools, inspiring minds and shaping the future every single day. We deeply value the energy and care you invest into our students’ growth and success.

To staff:
From keeping our buildings safe and clean to organizing daily operations, providing counseling, and transporting our students safely, your hard work keeps our district moving forward. Our schools could not run without your tireless behind-the-scenes support and leadership.

Together, we form a vibrant community dedicated to learning, growth, and excellence. Let’s support one another, celebrate our achievements along the way, and make this school year our best one yet.

Welcome Ana K Hanna!

9:56 PM Monday August 10, 2026: We're watching isolated storms currently over northwestern South Dakota that are expected to gradually grow into a line as it moves southeast. Here's the latest look at timing for our area.

Ping pong ball sized hail will be possible with these storms mainly near and west of the James River, but the greater concern will be damaging wind gusts to 70+ mph as storms move towards I-29 by the early morning hours.

Not everyone gets a storm, but remain weather aware tonight!
