Cooler weather = read a book! Remember students, you are challenged to read 100 books (INCOMING kindergarten-INCOMING 2nd grade students), and 30 AR points (INCOMING 3rd grade-5th grade students). **If our incoming 2nd graders prefer the AR option, that works! Please don't hesitate to contact kyla.richter@k12.sd.us if you are having trouble logging in. Paperwork was sent home with your child at the end of the year. Please share with incoming kindergarten families.
Britton Public Library is a great place to check out a book and get involved in their summer reading program as well. We are lucky to have such nice facilities and staff who are helpful!
REMINDER - Athletes that are going into grades 7, 9 & 11 will need a physical before they are able to participate in sports. If you are in gymnastics or wrestling, you will need a physical in the 6th grade. Please make sure this is all ready to go before practice starts. Athletic registration will be online again through Bound. The forms you will need are on the Bound site. You can access them when you register for your child. https://www.gobound.com/sd/schools/brittonhecla
