Parkston School District 33-3

The April 2nd Track and Field Meet in Parkston has been cancelled.

Good Afternoon. We have a couple of updates. School for tomorrow will be on time. Rural patrons, please communicate with your route driver about your area's road conditions. Buses will run where possible. Due to not being face-to-face learning the last two days we will NOT be having an early out tomorrow for teacher in-service. Please plan for a FULL DAY of school. Lastly, the NHS induction ceremony scheduled for tonight has been postponed. The date has yet to be determined. Thanks for everyone's cooperation over the last two days. While it will never replace face-to-face learning, it does provide options for student engagement that are better than what we could provide in June.

National Honor Society Induction for tonight, has been POSTPONED!
