College Readiness Coursework available at no cost
Last week, South Dakota 12th graders received a postcard from Our Dakota Dreams providing information about College Readiness Coursework in math and English. Available at no cost to the student, College Readiness Coursework is designed to help students make a smooth transition to higher education by preparing them for college-level math and English. Students who earned less than a Level 3 on the South Dakota State Assessment are eligible and can avoid remedial coursework at the college level by successfully completing targeted coursework. The effort is a partnership of the DOE, Board of Regents, and Board of Technical Education. Please share this information with your high school counselors and other appropriate staff.
Congratulations to Melanie Kipf, Kennadie Wipf, Katie Wollman, Jayda Thompson, Ellie Kemnitz, Tegan Konold, Katelynn Fjeldheim, Faith Heil, Ellie Jahraus, Shane Henderson, and Greg Kessler on being inducted into the National Honor Society.
Congratulations and best of luck to Mrs. Lindsey Bachman on being a finalist for Teacher of the Year. The video link below is provided by the South Dakota Department of Education. It is posted on their social media outlets.

Freshman parents,
Students in 9th grade have been invited to attend Freshman Impact Day in Gettysburg on September 18, 2023. The event will run from 8:30 AM-3:50 PM. The bus will leave at 7:15 AM from the HS and return at approximately 5:00 PM. Coaches have been notified, and students will be excused from practice. Students who are in football will still make it to the JV game that evening, as Coach Naasz will be driving a van separately from Gettysburg to Linton. A waiver has been given to each student that will need to be signed before they can attend this event. Please return waivers to the HS office by September 11, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Bachman at 605-845-9202. The links below provide more information. https://www.freshmanimpact.net/
