Good evening!! I wanted to update you on the incident that took place today at school. Law enforcement has been called and an investigation will begin. We will be meeting with law enforcement in the morning and they will be on site when students arrive tomorrow. The threatening student will not be on site tomorrow. We are investigating next steps and will do whatever necessary to ensure the safety of our students and staff. I know there are many emotions involved. We have them too. Thanks for you understanding and know that we love all our students and our staff and will make sure we do whatever we can to keep them ALL safe. Please reach out with any questions. GO CHIEFS!!
Good afternoon!! You may hear from your child that there was a weapon at school today, Oct. 29. The situation took place in the middle school and no danger is present. All areas have been addressed, controlled, and the student has been removed. Please be assured that the school is safe and secure. We are appreciative of our great staff for assisting in addressing the concern. Thank you for your support and understanding. Please contact the school with any questions or email Mr. Ruth at mike.ruth@k12.sd.us.

Last week was SDHSAA Fall Officials Appreciation Week. Each year, these
officials attend clinics, region meetings, complete rules meetings and take exams in preparation for the sports season. During the season, these dedicated men and women take time away from their personal schedules and families to provide opportunities for the thousands of student-athletes that participate in SDHSAA activities. We want to thank all officials for your continued dedication to high school sports!
This is where the livestream will be found. It won't pop up until 15 minutes or so before the game.
