12/20- 1/5: NO SCHOOL Winter Break. TODAY is the LAST DAY before our winter break. Apologies for any confusion from a past typo - NO SCHOOL at all next week or the week after. No school Monday 1/5. Return to school Tuesday January 6th.

Note: There is NO early release in January due to the winter break. Friday 1/9 will be a full day of school with normal release at 2:45.

Congratulations to our nominations for South Canyon Teacher of the Year: Mrs. Keira Harris and Support Staff of the Year: Mr. Gary Windle!

Notice from Student Nutrition: Meal account balances that remain unpaid after January 30, 2026, will be referred to a collection agency under the parent/guardian’s name. We want to help. Contact us early to work on a plan that prevents collections. Feeding students and supporting families is our priority. Families interested in donating to help cover delinquent accounts can also reach out to our office. Contact: RapidCityStudentNutritionOffice@k12.sd.us | 605-394-4061

FeedingSD Backpack Food bag program: Do you receive the backpack bags? If so, would you be willing to share with us how it has helped you or positively impacted you? Please email Patricia in the office at patricia.scarborough@k12.sd.us, it will be kept anonymous. If you feel you would benefit from your student receiving a bag of non-perishable foods each Friday for the weekend, please let us know in the office and we can get you a form to sign up your student.

Have a great break and Happy Holidays to all!
