If your student(s) has a change in afterschool plans during the school day, please notify the office and we’ll get the message to your student(s). Teachers are actively teaching and may not be able to check their email throughout the day.
Since the office is the main point of contact, it’s important that we know how students are getting home. We want to ensure the safety of all students and make sure dismissal plans are communicated accurately. You can email Jennifer.Hogan@k12.sd.us and/or Jasmine.Iddings@k12.sd.us; or call the office at 605-362-3530.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our students safe!

Last Friday, third grade classrooms participated in the Sioux Falls Fire Rescue Children’s Fire Safety House. The house is a mobile educational simulator used to teach students how to prevent, prepare for, and survive home fires. The house simulates a low-visibility, smoke-filled bedroom using safe theatrical smoke. Students hear an actual smoke alarm sound, locate the door, test it for heat, and practice identifying two ways out of a room (including doors and windows).
