⚠️ Following Governor Noem’s press conference to present South Dakota’s Back to Normal plan, we want to communicate that the HSD plan for the remainder of the current school year has not changed. We will continue remote learning through the end of the current year. School facilities remain closed through at least May 31st, and playgrounds will remain closed until further notice. The tennis courts will reopen immediately for public use as will the North Middle School track for walking and running. We will continue to communicate changes as they occur. 🔴 This Friday is School Lunch Hero Day, as well as Principal Appreciation Day. We encourage you to share a note of appreciation or a word of thanks with those who have been working so hard to meet the needs of our students.

Had an awesome time connecting with these two learners/siblings for a #GoodNewsCalloftheDay! Their teachers contacted me (separately) about their individual contributions within class Zoom meetings and to celebrate their hard work & leadership since we’ve started Distance Learning!

With her dad working in a critical service area, mom & dad are so proud of how hard this young lady has been working and taking responsibility for her learning & other needs around their house. While we all agree distance-learning is not our favorite, it’s awesome to hear about kids stepping up! #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay

Check out some of the artwork submitted by our learners in celebration of Earth Day! We are up to 1200 AMAZING works of art uploaded to our school Artsonia Gallery. Mrs. Secor couldn’t be prouder of our learners - thoughtful, hardworking, creative young artists!! #LibertyPRIDE
