Principal's Corner
Hello Eagle Families,
If you have an incoming Kindergarten student, please go online to register your child for the 2024-25 school year. Also, if you have a friend or neighbor who will be entering their first child in school, please inform them of registration. On or before September 1, 2024, children must be five to register for Kindergarten or Jr. Kindergarten. Please visit the following LINK for registration. We are excited to welcome our newest EFA+ Eagles to the nest - Class of 2037!
Speaking of the start of a new school year, we will be working on the 24-25 class rosters later this spring. It is imperative to balance the classrooms in areas such as students' academic needs, social needs, emotional needs, etc. If you believe you have information about your child that would be necessary for our administration team to know as we create balanced 24-25 class rosters, you may pick up and complete the Parent Input Form from the school office. Please understand the Parent Input Form is not a teacher request form. Our job as an administrative team is to know our staff and match your child's needs with a teacher while creating balanced classrooms. The information you share on the form will remain confidential. The completed Parent Input Form is due to the school office by April 5, 2024.
Thank you for your support of our school.
Kindest regards,
Mr. Mees, Principal

Multiple Intelligences
Junior Achievement of South Dakota
We appreciate the Junior Achievement volunteers who have been visiting classrooms in our school again this year! Combining JA programming and their own personal and professional experiences, JA volunteers teach students about careers, money, owning a business, and ethics. They assist students in bridging the gap between what they learn in school and the skills necessary for success in both their professional and personal life.
Junior Achievement (JA) gives students hope for a better future. Nearly 2,000 JA classroom volunteers committed to teaching JA programs this school year and hope to empower over 55,000 South Dakota students to achieve their dreams.
Please extend a special thank you to the volunteers and teachers listed below who are participating in JA during the 2023-24 school year. If you are interested in sharing your knowledge and business experience with students in our community or if you would like to sponsor a student for $25, please contact the JA office at (605)336-7318 or jasd@ja.org.
