🏈🚨 HOMECOMING PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨🏈
Happy Homecoming, Scoopers! 🖤🤍❤️
We’re ready to wrap up Homecoming Week tonight as the Scoopers take on the Douglas Patriots! We’re expecting a BIG crowd, a great atmosphere, and plenty of Homecoming excitement. We’re also excited to welcome our 1976, 1986, 1996, and 2006 class reunions! 🎉
Special seating will be available for the reunions in the West End Zone area.
Now for the friendly reminders…because apparently, we have to say these things. 😂👇
👀 Parents, please keep an eye on the younger kiddos. If they’re attending the game, we ask that they stay with you in the stands and enjoy the game rather than congregating around the concessions or restrooms.
🌳 The park is not an extension of the field. Please remind students to stay within the field area and not wander off to the park or parking lot.
⚽ Tonight is not pickup basketball, dodgeball, or an impromptu soccer tournament. Please leave balls and other play equipment at home. This helps keep traffic, distractions, and accidental chaos to a minimum.
🚨 Keep the driveway clear! Only game personnel may park inside the gated area. Emergency vehicles need to be able to get in and out safely if needed.
We know Homecoming is about more than football—it’s about school spirit, traditions, friends, families, alumni, and making memories. Thank you for doing your part to help make tonight safe, enjoyable, and focused on cheering on our Scoopers! See you at 7:00 PM!
🎉 LET’S HAVE A GREAT HOMECOMING NIGHT!
🖤🤍❤️ GO SCOOPERS!

Due to a waterline break at Piedmont Valley Elementary, students will be dismissed at 10:00 AM today, Wednesday, September 23.
🚌 Buses will run accordingly to transport students home.
🚫 There will be no after-school program today.
Please contact the office if you need any special accommodations for your child's pick-up. We will have a follow-up communication regarding school for tomorrow at a later time.
And because 3D printers need something to print with… another big thank you to Mindless Kreations for donating filament to get our program up and running!
Our community continues to show up for our students, and we cannot wait to see what they create with these amazing new tools. There will be learning. There will be creativity. And there will definitely be a whole lot of fun happening in the STEM Lab!
Schedule your Birth to 4 Preschool Screening for your child this Fall by calling the Special Services Department at (605) 347-4770 or email Carmen.Scarborough@k12.sd.us!

Thank you for your patience as we put the finishing touches on the new Woodle Field! While the project is nearing final completion , the field and track remain CLOSED to the public until August 17, 2026.
We ask that everyone please respect the closure by:
🐾 Keeping all dogs and other animals off the field and track
🚫 Not entering the field or track for walking, running, or recreation
⚠️ Respecting all posted signs, fencing, and barricades
Entering the area before it officially opens could create safety hazards, delay project completion, or damage the new turf and track surface.
School hours + great kids + great staff + an amazing Health Services team = a pretty great job! ❤️
📚 No medical degree required — high school diploma/equivalent and health care experience is preferred. The district provides the required Unlicensed Medication Aide training after employment begins.
