The school office will open at approximately 12:00 pm tomorrow, Thursday, July 25th.

There will be Free Sports Physicals on August 1st from 4:00-6:00 in the school gym. Shawnee Early, a Family Nurse Practitioner, will administer them. You must have your Health History Form Filled out prior to your physical. You may get those documents on the school website or in the office. If you have any major medical issues, she asks that you see your primary doctor. If you are interested in a Free Sports Physical, please email Brandi Brassfield at brandi.ballard@k12.sd.us so we have an idea of how many to plan for. Thank you

They will go into the NU Library for historical purposes. Thank you!
