Parents, with our school year off and running, we would like to remind you how important it is to get your students to school, regularly. The included graphic has just a small set of statistics that reminds us of the importance of being in the classroom. The SDHSAA is also airing an ad on the radio which reminds us that if a student misses 15 or more days of school in a year, their chances of not graduating increases significantly. We do understand that there will be times that students need to miss school, whether that is for appointments, illness, etc. If your child is going to be gone from school, please make sure you contact the school to let us know. Thank you! Mr. Hawkins
