It has been reviewed and adopted by the Bison School District Board of Education. Teacher familiarity with this handbook is essential. WELCOME Welcome to you as the teachers in the Bison School District. It is hoped that the year ahead of us will be filled with many new and pleasant experiences that will serve as guides for the future. One of the chief aims of an education in a democratic society is to learn good citizenship. To succeed in life or school, a student must have a concern and consideration for his/her schoolmates. These traits must be learned early in life and polished often if they are to become the natural way of living. The school affords the student excellent opportunities to learn and practice good citizenship as they work together in the classroom, the sports areas and various other activities. Learning to get along is something that demands our attention and effort, above our personal interests. As the main goal of the group progresses, we develop strength of character and a feeling of confidence and respect in our students and in ourselves. May we, as teachers, put forth every effort to help the students of the Bison Schools learn how to become good citizens in both the school and the community. May we, by example, set the standards that they will copy and learn to adopt as their standards of life. This, then, is the greatest challenge in the teaching profession – helping to build and mold the greatest, most complex machine ever created – the inquisitive mind of your students. BISON SCHOOL DISTRICT’S VISION/MISSION Bison School District holds the vision to promote a healthy environment fostering academic growth, instilling pride in rural living, and inspiring responsible life-long learners as citizens of a global world. We will create an environment where all students feel confident and competent to meet the challenges of a technological society. We will provide an academic curriculum with high goals and expectations for all students provided by highly qualified teachers. We will develop respect, integrity, compassion, and responsibility within each student. We will prepare students to participate actively and successfully as productive, responsible citizens. We will appreciate and respect the historical uniqueness of the community, county, state and country. FORWARD IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT NOT ALL OF THE GUIDELINES AND RESTRICTIONS THAT WE ENFORCE IN THE SCHOOL WILL BE FOUND IN THIS HANDBOOK. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME OF THE MORE PREVALENT GUIDELINES THAT SEEM TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY THAN OTHERS. COMMON SENSE WILL NATURALLY DICTATE IN

    Sturgis Elementary School Meade School District 46-1 “To Build Knowledge and Skills for Success Today and Tomorrow A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL CHANTAL LIGTENBERG Supervision on Playground I have noticed some students being dropped earlier than we have supervisors. Just a reminder that the supervisors are not on the playground until 7:45 a.m. Breakfast students can be dropped off as early as 7:30 a.m. at the cafeteria doors. Inclement Weather/School Closings On mornings when school is cancelled or a late start occurs, every attempt will be made to notify the following radio and television stations by 6-6:30 a.m.: radio stations BHB, KOTA, KAT, FOX, KIMM, KKMK, KKLS, KRCS, KSQY, KIQK, KTOQ, KDDX, KZZI, KDSJ, and television stations KOTA, KEVN, KNBN, and KELO. In addition to the announcements on select radio and television stations, parents will also be notified by telephone via School Messenger (previously known as School Reach) in the event of school closing or early dismissal. School Messenger messages will come from the district level. Please let the school office know if you have changed phone numbers recently so we may make those updates in our system. School Attendance Attending school might not be a big deal for you now, but the consequences can have a lasting impact on you. Check out the attendance facts from our friends at Attendance Works. • Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school.
