Due to the impending weather, Belle Fourche has CANCELLED their MS Track meet for this Saturday, April 23rd. It will not be rescheduled.
Mr. Nepodal

HS baseball scheduled for tonight at home has been postponed and will be rescheduled for another date.

Lead-Deadwood Middle School will begin taking the Smarter Balanced assessments next week. You can find the schedule under Events on the school website and app. Please make sure your student is on-time and well rested on their testing days. Free breakfast is served from 7:45-8:20 in HS Cafeteria. Please notify the school as soon as possible if your student will be absent for testing so we can reschedule. Thank you for all you do.

Just a quick note that both the HS track meet (Friday) and the MS track meet (Saturday) in Spearfish are still planning to be held. With the recent weather, I wanted to make sure that information was out there. Best of luck Diggers!

Congratulations to the LDHS Student Council for receiving the SDHSAA Outstanding Student Council Award!!

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Lead-Deadwood High School Juniors will be participating in state required assessments beginning April, 7th 2022. We ask that your child be present and well rested on their assessment dates (4/7, 4/12, 4/13, 4/25, 4/28). If you know that your student will be absent, please notify the school so a make-up test can be scheduled.
The results of both assessments help teachers and administrators make decisions about future instructional and curricular improvements. You should expect to receive your student’s assessment results by the end of this school year.
The South Dakota Science Assessment measures students’ mastery of the South Dakota State Academic Standards in Science at grades 5, 8, and 11. This test will cover the grade spans of 3-5, 6-8, and high school. Questions will come equally as possible from life, physical, and earth sciences at all 3 tested levels. This assessment will be completely online, and accommodations are provided based on individual student’s needs.
SBAC- South Dakota is part of the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium, or SBAC. The SBAC is a consortium of states that have been working collaboratively to develop a student assessment system aligned to the State Standards in English language arts and math. The SBAC focus is on assessing students annually in grades 3-8 and 11. The system includes both summative and interim assessments and will use computer adaptive testing technologies to the greatest extent possible to provide meaningful feedback and actionable data that teachers and other educators can use to help students succeed. Accommodations are provided based on individual student needs.
