The JV VB tournament at Hot Springs for Saturday, Oct. 9th has been cancelled due to lack of teams.

JV volleyball will be going to the Hot Springs Tournament this Saturday, Oct. 9th. Tourney starts at 10:00 - leave time will be 7:15.

Dear parents,
Along with your student’s midterm report card you will be receiving two permission slips. One for a Pride Survey conducted by Lawrence County Coalition, and the other regarding the district’s behavior screener. Please fill them out and return to the school office no later than Friday, October 8th. Regardless of permissions given, your student will receive a candy bar, and be entered into a raffle if they return them. The high school raffle is for a $100 Visa card, and middle school is for a set of Apple AirPods.
Parents of middle school students will also find a letter explaining how to download the PBIS Rewards app if you have not already done so. This is a great tool to stay connected to your student and the school. The app will notify you when your student receives points for following school expectations, if they receive a behavior write up, or daily points earned if your student is enrolled in the Check-In Check-Out (CICO) program.
Thank you for all you do to support your student and the Lead-Deadwood School District.

Region Cross Country on Oct. 14th will start at 12:00 and be held at Rocky Knolls Golf Course in Custer.
