Next week's (6/29&6/30) meal service will operate only on Monday and Tuesday. There will be a total of five meals handed out during these two days. There will be two meals on Monday and three on Tuesday to accommodate for travelers for the 4th of July holiday. Meal service will resume as normal on 7/6.
Good Evening,
There will be a time adjustment for material drop off for tomorrow. Due to the great participation today, we will be shortening the time tomorrow from 7:30-1:00. If you absolutely cannot make it in during these times, please contact your building level principal for other arrangements. We appreciate your participation in the drop off. This allows us to inventory our materials and go through the electronic devices in preparation for next school year. Elementary age students all have a packet of materials to pick up. Again, all elementary students have materials to pick up and times are again from 7:30-1:00. Thank you!
Just a reminder that drop off/ pickup is happening today and tomorrow from 7:30 am - 4:00 pm at MS/HS and Koch School. If possible, we'd appreciate if you are able to stop by today since the forecast is calling for rain tomorrow. Thanks!
Good Afternoon.
There are a few things for the end of the year as far as school is concerned. We are doing a drop off for materials and school property on Thursday and Friday from 7:30-4:00. Please make sure that all books, library books, and computers are returned. Parking passes need to be returned at this time as well. There will be year-end packets that need to be picked up at Koch School. It would also be helpful if there were a sticky not with the students name and grade were on the materials, but, that is not required.
It is sad that this school year was cut short and we are hopeful that we can begin the school year normally this fall. In the event that we cannot, we will re-distribute materials for students again in August. Meal service has been extended through July 31st at this time. We will continue to feed children ages 18 and under through that date at both sites as well as the mobile delivery sites. There will be no meal service on Memorial Day, May, 25th.
Anyone who has pictures of any school clubs or organizations (TATU, cadet teaching, etc.) please send them to april.r.anderson@k12.sd.us for the yearbook. Also, anyone who might have tennis, golf, or track-type pictures can send them in as well.
Koch School Students & Parents: we've added a Kindness tab to our Covid-19 link on the school webpage. The purpose is to spread kindness and positivity during this time!

Koch School Parents: the pickup line is open until 4:00 pm today, at the front door of Koch School, if you have not already picked up your child's learning materials.
The next pickup date for learning materials at Koch School is scheduled for Monday, April 20 from 7:30 am - 4:00 pm. All students in Preschool, Kindergarten, First Grade, Third Grade, and Fifth Grade will have materials for pickup unless notified by your child’s classroom teacher.
Good Afternoon. I know that most of you have heard, but, sadly, I need to inform you that Governor Noem is recommending closing schools for the remainder of the year. The SDHSAA is also cancelling on winter and spring activities at this time as well. We will continue our distance education. Students need to continue to make progress and communicate with your teachers on a regular basis. We will be in communication about future material pickups as well as collecting materials at the end of our regular school year. Distance learning will continue through May 20th. Seniors work will need to be completed by May 15th and all other students by May 20th. Meal service will also continue during this time. There will be no meals on April 10th and the 13th as we were not scheduled to have school on these days.
Thank you,
Just a reminder the Koch School pick up line is open until 4:00 pm today if you haven't already picked up your child's belongings.
Koch Elementary School will be holding another pick up day for student locker and desk contents, as well as additional learning materials. The pickup line will run from 7:30 am – 4:00 pm on Monday, April 6 in the back parking lot next to the Koch School gym.
