Veteran's Day 2021
Good afternoon! I just wanted to send out some reminders.
Conferences this afternoon from 2:30 - 7:00PM. We encourage 6-12 parents to bring their student(s) as well to meet with teachers! Tomorrow at 2:00 students will participate in Rutland's annual "Trunk-O-Treat" event, to celebrate Halloween. Then, at 6:30 PM we will be having our community meeting in the Rutland Gym to discuss where we're at in the consolidation process and to do our best to address/answer any questions you might have. ***Important note - We have decided to livestream this event vs. doing a Zoom meeting. Here is link to our livestream (I'll send out again tomorrow as well): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClRihbPOGQTfgewVTnSDf5Q?view_as=subscriber
Any questions can be asked in the "comments section" throughout the meeting, so, if you're unable to physically attend, we encourage you to jump onto our YouTube page. We hope you can attend!!
Two Reminders!!!!
1. Conferences are Thursday afternoon/evening from 2:30 - 7:00PM. Elementary conferences are scheduled and 6-12 teachers will be available in the gymnasium. Students will be dismissed from school at 2:00PM on Thursday.
2. A Community Consolidation Meeting will be held in Rutland on Friday evening (Oct. 29th) at 6:30, in the Rutland Gym. Please spread the word! It would be fantastic if we could fill the gym with community members, parents, and students wanting to learn more and help provide the district(s) with feedback (survey opportunity at the end of the presentation)...so please, bring a friend...or two (or many)! A Zoom link will be posted on FB and our school's website sometime on Friday afternoon if you aren't able to physically attend. Oldham-Ramona has their meetings scheduled for Saturday morning, 10/30.
Rutland and Oldham-Ramona community meetings will be held on the 29th and 30th of October. We invite you please spread the word and plan to come ask questions, learn more about the process/updates, and to take a brief survey at the end of the meeting! Thank you!

A big thank you to the National Guard for bringing in some inflatables for our summer AR reading incentive! Also, a big thanks to our senior boys for helping to set things up (they, of course, needed to make sure things worked ok too!).

Just a reminder:
Find details about the K-5 Summer AR incentive below. Any questions or concerns, please email Mrs. Merager. Jill.Merager@k12.sd.us 📚 ☀️
** Just a reminder that when it says students should be reading at their level, that means that they should be reading the same level of books that they were reading during the year. Their level doesn't always match their grade level. It is what is appropriate for their independent reading.
