Greetings, Families!
As we approach the end of the school year, we have some exciting news to share. A group of parents and caregivers has come together to form a school support organization called “The BEE Team.” This group will function similarly to a PTA or PTO and will be sharing more information and opportunities to get involved in the near future.
One of their first initiatives will be helping us celebrate our incredible educators during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4–8). We are so grateful for the dedication and care our staff shows your children every day, and we look forward to partnering with you to show that appreciation. Please watch for ways you can help!
South Dakota Assessments begin this week. You can support your child by ensuring they get plenty of sleep each night and start their day with a healthy breakfast—either at home or at school—so they are ready to do their best. We view this as a great opportunity for students to showcase and celebrate all the learning that has taken place this year.
As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if there is anything you need as we head into the final weeks of the 2025–26 school year.
