Hello,
The administration team met today for our first meeting for the school year. Students begin in two weeks, and we wanted to remind everyone to register. For returning families, we have simplified the process. Just enter your student's name and address (we want to ensure we have the correct address).

Go to our website: https://www.hssd.k12.sd.us/ Then, click on Online Registration on the ribbon underneath the pictures. Thank you.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the Bison R' Back event (August 13 from 5pm-7pm) and on the first day of school (August 17). Enjoy your last two weeks of summer!

Johnson O'Malley

The Wesleyan Church is partnering with a local non-profit called Random Acts 20:35, to give away school supplies and clothes to any families that may need them. The event is August 1st from 10-4pm at the Mueller Center. We will also be offering free haircuts onsite from barbers/stylists in town. This event is 100% free. The only requirement for the school supplies is that kids must be present with their parents/guardians, as we will have limited supply and want to ensure they are going to the kids. The goal is to serve the community and help those in need.
