Red Shirt School

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Tomorrow, March 20, begins the twenty-eighth week of school year 2022 through 23 and the first day of the last quarter of school this year. Our last parent/teacher conference of the year will be on April 29, but you are encouraged to check on your student’s progress earlier than that. Call, text, or email your student’s teacher to find out what is coming up, if there are any concerns, and how you may assist in your child’s learning experience. Good behavior and high levels of learning will be expected of all students in the last part of the year. Field trips are being scheduled as we speak. Participation of students on some of these trips will be dependent exclusively on following all school and bus rules. Participation in other trips will depend upon how much effort and time students dedicate to their academic growth. Attendance, following school rules, and learning a lot will be important for all students this last quarter! Encourage your children to do their best! Pay attention to school announcements and school reaches for dates of the Spring Festival and Red Shirt School’s Kindergarten and eighth grade continuation ceremonies. There will be open gym for boys on Monday, for girls on Wednesday, and hand games practice on Thursday of this week. Finally, we have the best students in the world at Red Shirt, and they will be expected to demonstrate just how great they are every day. Have a great night.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. March 13 is the start of Week 27 of the 2022 through 23 school year. It will be a regular week with a full day for students on Friday. Students, make sure to go to bed early, follow all school and bus rules, and learn as much as you can. Have a great night!

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Wednesday, March 6 is the start to week 26 of the 2022-23 school year. Please make sure your student or students get to bed early, get on the bus, and follow all school rules. Following the school rules ensures all students have a safe, effective, and fun educational experience. This will be a regular week with a half-day for students on Friday. There will be concessions at 2:30PM on Wednesday to support the 8th grade continuers for their trip and ceremonies. Have a great night!

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 24 is going to be a weather event week. There will be no school Monday for President’s Day. Tuesday we are hoping we can have a full day of school, but it will depend on how fast the weather moves into the area. From then until Friday, we will be watching the winter storm system and will let everyone know what the school status is. No after school activities will be planned due to the weather. Please make sure you have all the stuff you need before the weather moves in for the week. There seems to be at least 48 hours to prepare. Have a great night, a great President’s Day, and we will see all students on Tuesday ready to follow the rules and learn a week’s worth of material in a day. Just kidding. They will learn a lot, though.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. If your team is winning, great! If your team isn’t doing so well, don’t worry, Week 23 of the 2022-23 school-year starts at Red Shirt School tomorrow! Life is good! It will be a regular week with a full day Friday for students. Girls will have Volleyball on Tuesday, basketball on Wednesday, and the Hand games team will have practice on Thursday after school. Please make sure your children get on the bus in the morning, follow all the rules at school and on the bus, and learn a lot. Remember, rules keep people safe and make learning very easy and enjoyable. Mitakuye Oyasin! We are all family! Have a great night!

It cannot be emphasized enough that students who follow school and bus rules work in a safer environment and will have a much better time learning. Have a great night.

Happy M. L. K. Day, Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 19 of the 2022 through 23 school-year is going to start with a two hour late start tomorrow, Tuesday, January 17 due to the wet roads and falling temperatures. The rest of the week will be a regular week. Get all students to bed early, tell them to follow all school and bus rules, and they will have safe and fun learning all the time. Have a warm and safe night.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Monday, January 9 is the start to Week 18 of the 2022-23 school-year and the last week of the first full semester. It will be a regular week for students with full days Monday through Thursday and the half-day on Friday. Attendance and following school rules are two things that have a huge effect on student performance. Students cannot learn if they are not there, and learning is interrupted for all when even one student breaks the rules. So, students, get to school and listen to all staff. If you do those two things, you will have a perfect day. Finally, take some time and give thoughts and prayers to all who have recently lost loved ones. Please have a warm and safe night.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 16 of the 2022 through 2023 school year will be a short week ushering in the winter break. Monday will be a regular day. Tuesday and Wednesday will be snow days, and no school Thursday and Friday for L.N.I. Please, make sure all family is safe and indoors this week. The weather looks like it will be wicked. We will send Feeding South Dakota Weekend Backpack food home tomorrow. Have a good night.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 15 starts tomorrow, December fifth. It will be a regular week with full days Monday through Thursday and a half day on Friday. Parents and guardians, please be sure to get your students to bed early, ensure they get on the bus, and direct them to follow all rules on the bus and in school. Rules help keep everyone safe and provide the best environment for student achievement. Finally, The Ogle` Luta Owayawa Winter Program will be held on Wednesday, December 14 at 10:30AM. Come and enjoy some holiday music, a skit, and some good food. Have a great evening.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Monday, November 28 starts week 15 of the 2022 through 2023 school year. Stay tuned for information on the Ogle’ Luta Owayawa Winter Program: Seven Songs and a Skit. Family members and friends will be able to join the students and staff for lunch and entertainment before the winter break. The Feeding South Dakota Mobile Food Pantry will be at Red Shirt School on Friday, December 2 from 12:30 to 1:30PM. Yes, this week ushers in December, so come on and see what good food the Feeding South Dakota group has. Finally, put your students to bed, let them get some good sleep, tell them to follow all school and bus rules for their safety and the safety of others, and make sure they get to school every day. One cannot learn without the protection of rules, and one definitely cannot learn if they are absent. Have a good night and stay tuned for weather and school information. Have a great night.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 14 begins tomorrow, November 21, and will be a two-day week leading into the Thanksgiving Holiday. There will be a Social Dance on Tuesday, November 22 starting at 1:30PM. Students will be released immediately following the social dance. Please ensure all students get to bed early, attend school, and follow all the school and bus rules to ensure the safety of all students and staff. Have a great night!

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 13 of the 2022 through 2023 school-year will be a regular week. Monday through Thursday will be full days and Friday will be the regular early release. Please make sure your students get to sleep early, get to school, and follow all school rules. Those three things will ensure the ultimate academic success for your students, and will keep all safe and secure at school. Have a great evening.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Monday starts Week 12 of the 2022 through 23 school-year. There will be Dance Club practice Tuesday after school. Red Shirt School will be hosting a Veteran’s Coffee and Cookie event on Thursday to show appreciation for those in our communities that have served our nation in the military. It will start at 2:15PM, again, on Thursday, in the commons area. Students are encouraged to bring photos of family members who are veterans, and all veterans are invited to attend personally, of course. Finally, there are two things students must do if they are to get any advantages out of school: First, they must attend, and second, they must follow the rules. One can’t learn if one is not there, so the importance of attendance is self-evident. Rules ensure that students have an orderly environment for learning and are implemented to provide safety and security for everyone at the school. Students not following the rules are not only failing to learn, but they could also be jeopardizing their own safety and the safety of others. Have a great night and keep warm!

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. This will be far from a regular week. Monday through Wednesday will be full days. Thursday will have an early release for students so the staff can make the school spooky for the Halloween carnival. Buses will pick up students right around 4PM again on Thursday to take them to the carnival. Parents are encouraged to bring their students if possible. Friday will be the usual half day for students. Once again, please encourage your students to follow all rules at school and on the bus. Rules help to ensure safety for all students and staff. Have a great night.

There will be volleyball practice on Monday and Wednesday, Dance Club practice on Tuesday, and Hand Games practice on Thursday. Picture day will be November second, two weeks from this Wednesday. Finally, please make sure you get your children to school and that they know to follow all school rules. Students cannot learn if they are not in school, nor can they learn if they do not follow the rules. Rules are for the safety of all, and a safe environment is an optimal learning environment. Have a great night.

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. We are in Week 8 of the 2022 through 2023 school year. It will be a 3 and a half day week with Tuesday through Thursday being full days and Friday being the usual half day of school. There will be volleyball practice on Tuesday and Wednesday and hand games practice on Thursday. Make sure your student participants get a permission slip and return it as soon as possible. We are nearing the end of the first quarter of the year. Please make sure to get your students to school, and that they follow the rules while in school or at school related activities. Children can’t learn if they are not in school and they cannot learn in an environment that has no rules. Rules are for the safety of all. Red Shirt School deserves having the safest students anywhere. Have a great night!

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Monday, October 3 starts Week 7 of the 2022 through 2023 school-year. It will be a regular month with full days on Monday through Thursday and a half-day on Friday.

The rules are for keeping all people safe and maximizing fun for everyone. Have a great night.
