Dear Sisseton Middle School families,

Good morning! I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy during this uncertain and challenging time.
Our staff have gone to amazing lengths to provide access to online learning and academic support for our students, and as each week progresses, we are finding new and innovative ways to provide instruction in all subject areas. We hope that you are able to find time to check in regularly with your child to visit with him/her about his/her virtual learning experience, and are able to work together to learn and apply new ideas in this ever changing world.

As we continue through the quarter, please know that there remains a need for regular submissions of evidence of learning from students, so our teachers can evaluate progress and determine if additional supports are required in order to help students master new concepts. These submissions may take the form of a photograph of a hands-on project, completion of a module on one of our STAR platforms, sending in a video clip of practicing an instrument, weighing in on a classroom discussion, and several others. Your involvement with ensuring that your child is completing and submitting these items regularly is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for all of your support and understanding. Please feel free to reach out to our staff with questions anytime using the wealth of contact information available through our virtual classroom spaces, our District website, and our Facebook page. We love to hear from you, and miss having you in our facilities; however, we continue to look ahead, and will see you in person again soon!
At Sisseton Middle School, we are a family, and this crisis is one which we will endure together. We remain Sisseton strong!

Best wishes,

Mr. Michael A. Drew, Principal
