Tomorrow is the beginning of the SD state assessments for us! Students in grades 3-8 and 11 will be taking the tests. The juniors will kick it off tomorrow and the rest of the testing schedule is online. Just follow the link below!
Please get a good night's rest!
Just a reminder all students taking the test will need headphones that plug into their computers! Please help your student remember to bring a pair as we only have a couple of extras at the school!
