On February 11th, Hot Springs 11th graders will take a mock ACT test. The South Dakota Department of Education has made the ACT the official state test for all juniors. In previous years, all South Dakota 11th graders took the Smarter Balance test, which is the same test 3rd-8th graders took. Due to this change, we want to best prepare our 11th graders and our school for success. Our hope is that the mock test will help our students have a better sense of the type of questions they will face and have a better sense of the amount of time each section of the test will last. The data and information we gather from this mock exam will help us make any necessary adjustments before the actual ACT exam, which will take place in March.

Hello Secondary Families,

This year we have made the decision not to mail report cards after first semester. We will mail report cards at the end of the school year. You can see your student's first semester grade on the parent portal. If you have any trouble accessing the parent portal, you can contact Sheila Siebenthal at 605.745.4146.

This year parents, students, and community members can upload pictures that they feel could enhance our yearbook. The community has taken many pictures and events and activities, and these could help create an amazing yearbook. All pictures will be properly vetted for appropriateness prior to use.

 

Did you take pictures at any Hot Springs Bison activities or events? Would these images enhance our yearbook? Please share, and the yearbook club may choose your pics to include in the 2025/2026 Yearbook. GO BISON!!
