Hau Mitakuyepi, due to the large amount of rain that we have received, it is hard for our school vehicles to maneuver through the mud. The buses will have to stay on the main road, and your child will have to walk to their own house. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will have early dismissal at 3:15 for P/T conferences. If you have any questions or concerns, you can call me at the school at 605-462-6455.
Wopila, Mr. Brown. Go Eagles!
