Parents & Guardians,
Did you know that SC offers free ebooks and audiobooks to students? Our digital collection is available 24/7 and all you need to get started is an internet connection and your child's student email and ID. Check it out by downloading Sora, the student reading app. Digital books are compatible with smartphones, tablets, eReaders, and computers. Titles can be read right in the internet browser or downloaded using the free Sora app. At the end of the lending period, titles automatically expire so there are never any late fees. Our digital library connects students with a collection of reading materials to supplement their studies, as well as offering the kind of titles they would find in a public library for pleasure reading. If you have questions, please reach out to our librarian Mrs. Mona Smith at Mona.J.Smith@k12.sd.us
Happy Birthday Tayden Huckins 11/15, Kynlee Stoddard & Kaceton Smit 11-22!
Wednesday, November 22, we have an early release. The elementary will be done at 12: 30 with the MS/HS to follow at 12:40.
