Random Acts of Kindness
As part of Random Acts of Kindness Week, Mrs.

projects for themselves and for their helpers. The

Crash Math
On Thursday, March 10, the junior class, accompanied by
Mrs. Doherty, Mrs. Herr, and Mr. O’Boyle, embarked on a
field trip for a day filled with math. The students were taken
to the EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operations Course) range,
where they measured skid marks, yaw marks, and points of
impact. After measuring, recording, and calculating equations
with the information collected, the students were taken to
the Law Enforcement Training Center in Pierre to learn how
math is applied in crash reconstructions and how it helps
determine the speed of a vehicle upon impact.

Testing Schedule
It’s that time of year again. . . as we head into the season of standardized testing we want to make sure families are aware of the
testing schedule. It is very important that your child is in school on each and every day of testing. Making up a testing day because of an absence means that your child will have to miss important content in his or her regular classes. Please make every
effort to not schedule or reschedule appointments or other absences so that your child can be in school on the following dates:
3rd grade:
4th grade:
5th grade:
6th grade:
7th grade:

Testing Tips
Beginning in April, students will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessment. A letter has been sent home regarding more information about the state assessment, as well as ideas for preparation of the test for your child. Information about the assessment
can be found at: http://commoncore.sd.gov/assessment.aspx Parents can access complete Practice Tests in English and math for
grades 3 through 8 and 11 at http://www.smarterbalanced.org/practice-test/.
There is no need to study in preparation for the assessments. We do, however, ask that you encourage your children to do their
best and get plenty of rest the night before the assessment and breakfast the mornings of the test. It is important that you make
sure your child comes to school on days that he/she has tests. Making up a missed test means time out of class and losing important learning time that cannot be made up.
This testing is very important for your child and for the Stanley County School District. Thank you for supporting your child and
our school during the test. Please call if you have any questions. We know that Stanley County’s students will help us show what
our students know and can do.
New Vaccination Requirements
Due to changes in law made during this year’s legislative session, the South Dakota Department of Health is now requiring
that 6th graders receive one dose of both the Tdap (tetanus/
diphtheria/pertussis) vaccine and the MCV4 (meningococcal)
vaccine on or after their 11th birthday. Contact your health
care provider for more information.
Prom Candidates
Congratulations to our 2016 Prom King and Queen Candidates! Those nominated for the honor are: Kady Nielsen,
Tya Lewis, Caitlin Pinela, Kaycee Cronin, Colten Drageset,
Brevin Klemann, and Michael Scott.
Book Fair Thank You
Thanks to everyone who supported the Book Fair this spring!
The school receives credit for every order and is able to purchase new books and materials for the library with these credits. The students are always excited to see what the book fairs
offer!
Contact Information
Have you moved? Has your phone number changed?
Having the most up-to-date contact information on file at the
school is the best way to ensure the school can reach you in
the event of an emergency. If you have moved, changed jobs,
or changed phone numbers since school began, you need to
update the contact information for your child in the school office. You can do this by simply calling the elementary office at
223-7741, extension 301, or the middle/high school office at
223-7741, extension 120.
Yearbooks
Reserve your copy of the 2015-16 Buffalo Stampede Yearbook
at a cost of $30. Please call or stop at the business office in
Parkview Auditorium to reserve your copy.
