Our 5th grade band night will be Tuesday, August 24 at 7:00 pm in the music room at the Ethan School. We will be discussing instrument prices, rental, and give the students an opportunity to play the different instruments. A parent or guardian must attend the band night with the student. Please ask your student to see the letter that was sent home. If you cannot attend band night and would like to participate in the band program, please email Mrs. Manchester at molly.manchester@k12.sd.us or call 605-227-4211.
From Kitchen Staff:
As we begin another school year the kitchen staff are preparing the menus and ordering foods/ingredients for the meal plans. Due to COVID and work force shortages, we were informed by our suppliers that we may not be getting all our orders filled as requested. The companies are having problems getting the items for their shelves as well as having a hard time finding drivers to fill the positions needed. With that in mind, we will continue to get the menus out to you like we have in the past, but please be aware that there may be some last-minute changes. We will attempt to get notices out to you, however, there are going to be times that we may need to substitute at the last minute. Thanks in advance for your understanding!
Just a reminder for all parents and guardians, our school doors will open at 7:45 AM. Looking forward to seeing all of the kids back in the building again!!!
Varsity and Junior High football practice will move to Bridgewater this week. The bus will leave at 3:15 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The bus will leave immediately after school on Thursday and there will be no JH practice on Friday.
Varsity and Junior High Football team and individual pictures will be taken this Friday, August 13th, at the beginning of football practice. Picture forms will be sent home with all JH and Varsity football players today. Please send forms back with your players, with payment, on Friday.
Just a reminder that we will have Open House tomorrow evening from 6:00 - 8:00. Come on in and meet the staff, see your students' classrooms, or visit with staff. We will have personnel here to talk about bus routes as well. Mary Beyer will be here so you can also purchase athletic passes for the year if you would like.
Our school is still in some disarray as some of our summer projects are just getting finished, so please be careful as you move about the building.
I have heard some rumors that there are COVID cases in the area, so if you are not feeling well, please stay home, and you can feel free to visit the school at another time.
Hello 7-12 Parents or Guardians, and students!
Students in grades 7-12 may pick up their laptop before school. They will need to bring either $30 or insurance form, and have read and signed the Acceptable Network and Internet Use Policy. They may pick up their laptop in the computer room on August 11 from 10 am to 3 pm, or during Open House from 6-8 pm. I highly suggest that students sign in to the laptop at school before taking them home for use. Please bring a padded backpack to transport the laptop.
