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.

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!

Have a great night.
