Hey parents! On August 17th (during open house) from 3pm-7pm there will be a couple representatives from Popplers Music coming in to do an instrument display night. This is the perfect opportunity for you to get your student an instrument if you have not bought one for the school year! Stop by and check it out!
If you can't make it to the display night... Popplers has a "lease-to-own" system in place as well, so your student rent out their instrument through them until it is paid! Here is a link to their online lease program: https://www.popplersmusic.com/popplers-lease-to-own-instrument-plan/south-dakota/all-other-districts-sd/parkston/

To ALL students, parents, staff, and community members. Please be advised that starting today at 12 PM, the south end armory tile floor, the National Guard hallway, the hallway leading to the elementary wing from the armory, and the MPR hallway will be stripped, cleaned, and waxed. Please observe and respect the process. STAY OFF the floor in those areas. The SDHSAA-mandated moratorium starts Wednesday, July 1st, and runs through July 7th. We are trying to provide maintenance to these high-traffic areas during this time. The Trojan Fitness Center space remains available. We have had a recent blatant disregard for the posted areas to stay out of and off. You are on camera, and we will suspend privileges for those who disregard the request. Thanks for your cooperation!!
