📋 Free and Reduced Meal Applications are available at the district business office, all building offices, and online: https://5il.co/1wojy. If you have questions about the form, please call 605-742-2112.
💡 Reminder for Families:
If your family’s financial situation changes during the school year, you can submit a new Free or Reduced-Price Meal Application anytime. Families qualifying for Free/Reduced meals must complete and submit an updated 2026-27 Free and Reduced Meal Application. Families who qualify for reduced meals will also receive free meals. If a current, valid application is not on file, families are responsible for meal charges until an application is approved and eligibility is confirmed. Free/Reduced Meal Eligibility does not transfer from one school year to the next.
💳 Meal Payments:
Pay for meals through your Campus Parent account - online or in the Campus Parent app. Recurring payments are available weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or when your student’s balance is low (minimum $10 online payment).

Sixth grade social studies students are starting off their studies of Ancient Civilizations by analyzing artifacts from prehistoric times. They have been learning about how social scientists look at artifacts, mostly found in caves and as cave art, and then coming up with a hypothesis of what life was like thousands of years ago. This week, students took on the role of archaeologists and studied their "cave art", collaborated with their classmates, and came up with their own theories of life during prehistory.
