Parents and Guardians, we start school in two days! Wednesday, August 13th will be our first day. Please come in and register your students as soon as possible if you haven't yet. We are here to assist you. Great attendance is a huge factor for student success!
Your child(ren) won't need backpacks from home. They will be provided with a clear backpack from the school. Please remind students to leave their valuables, devices and phones at home so they can concentrate on learning.
We are excited and happy to see the students and begin a great school year!

Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Monday, August 28 is the start of Week 2 of the 2023-24 school-year. This will be a week with two early dismissals. Thursday will have an early dismissal for the Open House. This event will run from 4pm to 7:45PM with a meal starting at 5PM. Please do not bring children. This is a time to go over the new policies and procedures for the new year. Parents will be responsible for monitoring any children brought to Open House. Friday will have an early dismissal for staff development. Instructional staff will be working to ensure high levels of learning for your children. Also remember, Monday, September 4 is Labor Day. It will be a 3 and one half day week after this week. Finally, the mobile pantry from Feeding South Dakota will be at Red Shirt School on Friday, September 1, 2023 from 12:30PM until 1:30PM. Please come and see what they have to offer. Have a great night.
Greetings Red Shirt students, families and staff. August 21, 2023, that is tomorrow, starts Week 1 of the 2023 through 24 school year. Buses will be running at regular times. Remember, all required documents must be in the school files before students can attend school. For previously enrolled students, that means only a few yearly signed documents. For new students, that means all those documents plus records releases, immunization papers, birth certificate, enrollment numbers, and more. Please speak to Mary Belt for more information. Eight A.M. is breakfast, and students start learning at 8:30. Please make sure your students get to bed early tonight. Finally, rules are important for the safety and optimal learning environment for all children. Make sure you tell your students to follow the rules on the bus and in school, treat everyone like dear family, and respect their elders. It will be a very good year if those three things happen every day. Have a great night.
Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 36 of the 2022 through 23 school year starts tomorrow, May 15. It is the last week of school for students. Nothing much going on. Well, there is a field trip for the seventh and eighth grade on Tuesday. Oh, and a trip to Reptile Gardens for the kindergarten and first grade students who read 100 books this quarter on Wednesday. Oh wait, there is the Red Shirt Field Day on Thursday. And, there is a feather tying for the eighth grade continuers and their immediate family that evening. I think that I might be missing something. I just can’t remember. Something about a continuation ceremony on May nineteenth, maybe. Yeah. Kindergarten and eighth grade Continuation ceremony starts at 10:30AM on Friday at the Red Shirt Football field. Families of any continuing students are encouraged to bring cakes for their students, and everyone is encouraged to bring a potluck salad dish. Yes, that is right, the World’s Longest Salad bar is back. Reminders will go out each night to bring a dish, so no one has an excuse to miss out. Students, remember, even though this is the last week of school, behavior in class, on the bus, and on field trips is the most important thing in the world. It would not be good to miss any part of this week when all it takes to participate is good behavior. Have a great night.
Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 35 starts tomorrow, May seventh. Monday through Wednesday will be regular days. Thursday will be a regular day with concessions at 2:30PM. Friday will be a regular day for most, but grades 2 through 6 will have a behavior incentive field trip to Get Air. Students already know, for the most part, who is going and who is not. Remember, though, there are 4 days before the trip. Do not misbehave. Following all rules, listening to all staff, and doing one’s work is the best way to get ahead in school. Have a good night, get lots of sleep, and get on the bus tomorrow. Have a good night.
Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Tomorrow is the first of May and the beginning of Week 34 of the 2022 through 23 school year. Make-up tests for South Dakota Assessments will be on Monday and Tuesday. We will come to your house to get you if you are absent and have tests to complete. Monday is Give Your Teacher a Compliment Day. Tuesday is Volunteer to Clean the Classroom Day, Wednesday is Absolutely No Behavior Infractions Day. Thursday is Be on Your Best Behavior Day. Friday is the Shrine Circus for those meeting behavioral expectations. Remember, school does not end until May 19, so attendance and good behavior are still expected by school staff. Have a great night.
Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 33 of the 2022 through 23 school year starts tomorrow, April 24. It will be a regular week with seventh and eighth grades taking the South Dakota Assessments. They need to get to bed early and get on the bus. On Wednesday, the fifth through eighth grade will go to Crazy Horse for a trip. Thursday will be a root beer float sale for the eighth fund raising. Friday will be a full day for students. It is also tell-your-teacher-you-love-them day. That and following all school and bus rules will ensure that the learning environment will be at its most effective. Have a great night.
Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Monday, April 17 starts week 32 of the 2022-2023 school year. This will be a regular week. Wednesday, students will be released at 1:00PM and parent/teacher conferences will convene from 4 PM to 7:45PM. Tuesday, the community is welcome to come in and purchase ice coffee or Italian soda to help the 8th grade class raise money for their continuation ceremony and trip. Tuesday and Thursday will see some grades taking their South Dakota assessments. Make sure students get adequate sleep at home. There are 25 days of school left for students. For all students, behavior and attendance will make the difference between spending all 25 days at school or being able to go on some field trips. Make sure to tell your children to follow all school and bus rules, and that they come to school every day, in order to participate. Have a great night.
Greetings Red Shirt students, families, and staff. Week 31 of the 2022 through 23 school year begins tomorrow, Tuesday April 11. There will be dance club practice on Tuesday and hand games practice on Thursday after school. Students must bring back all devices tomorrow. Also, the end of the year field trips are fast approaching, so students need to be in school and following all school rules. Finally, classes will be starting NWEA and South Dakota Assessments testing. This will be going from now through the first two weeks of May. All the more reason for students to be in school and following all rules. Students will need to be rested and ready. Be listening for more school reaches for continuing updates on events. Have a great day.
