ART NEWS: This year our school has been chosen to participate in the "Off the Fridge" program at the Washington Pavillion. Students will be allowed to submit original artworks of their choice that will be mounted on tag board, and displayed at the pavilion. The Pavilion will choose a day for the students to host a reception, have students come to talk about their piece, as well as interact with other artists displayed. It is usually chosen on the second Saturday of the month (each school will be chosen, and sent a letter with their date)
If your child would like their art displayed please have them bring it to the school to Mrs. Maras. The piece can be horizontal or vertical and should be 18"x24" or smaller. We are allowed 23 horizontal pieces, 24 vertical pieces, and 13 pieces that are vertical or horizontal that are smaller than 12"x18" for a total of 60 pieces to present.
Names must be listed on their artwork
Titles should also be given to Mrs. Maras
Please use the child's first name only if it is on the front of the art piece.
PSAT
This is an optional test for Juniors that is a great way to practice for the ACT and SAT. The PSAT test could also qualify you for the National Merit Scholarship program. We are planning on administering the PSAT on October 12th , starting at 8:30 AM and wrapping up around 11:00 AM. The deadline to sign up is September 30th. Please let me know if you would like to sign up.
ASVAB
This is also an optional test. Are you interested in the military? The ASVAB is the perfect way to see what kind of jobs you could qualify for if you entered the military. It is also a great way to gain knowledge about student’s interests and skills to help match you with a career choice after high school. We will be administering the ASVAB on October 28th at 8:30 AM. Please sign up with Mr. Breske. The Deadline to sign up is October 21st.
SD College Access Campaign (October 3rd – November 30th)
Senior Students’ application fees are waived during this period to any South Dakota College or Tech School.
