What a great sound around campus this morning. We had volleyball players that were already in the gym early this morning. If a person would look out on the track we also had our cheerleaders practicing with the cross country kids in the background completing cooldown laps. Our football team just took the field to get in a light practice before their scrimmage tomorrow morning at 10am. Our soccer team has two home games tonight and tomorrow. To say "Bison Are Back" is an understatement.

Bison R Back

Hello Bison Families. Our staff is beyond excited to see students and families tonight. We are moving our event inside. Please use either Elementary door or the Admin door on University to enter. All classrooms will be open with teachers ready to welcome students so please do not forget to head over to the middle and high school too. Teachers will be in their classrooms from 5:00-6:30pm tonight. Our local PD and HSSD school board will be grilling and serving a meal in the Bison Center.

The HSSD welcomes our new school nurse Kelly Mitchell. We are so excited to have her join our team. She is equally as excited to meet our students and families. Feel free to reach out to Nurse Mitchell at kelly. mitchell@k12.sd.us or 605.745.4264
