Our staff is working vigorously to begin a distance learning environment for our students. More information will be provided tomorrow. Thank you for responding to the phone calls placed today as an effort to gather information on how to best educate our students during this time of closure. We do not have any new information from Governor Noem at this time. This situation changes hourly, it seems. We will provide more information as it is made available. Another update will be made tomorrow evening on specific information for distance learning. Thank you!
Good Evening, this is superintendent Justin Downes of the Milbank School District. If you have not heard, Governor Noem announced yesterday that we will be suspending school again next week. I want to ensure you that the meal service will continue throughout the duration of the school closure. In addition to the sites in town and the mobile sites, the backpack program has dropped off their supplies at the high school.
Our administrative team is working hard to develop a plan for a distance learning effort. We will be making phone calls on Monday to ask about things like internet service and devices available to the students. This will help guide our distance instruction in the case that the closures continue for great lengths of time. We will do our best to update as often as we get information from the Governor. This situation remains very fluid and can change by the hour. We hope that our students and families continue to take steps to protect themselves during this time.
Thank you,
