During Classroom Guidance Lessons the past couple of months, 8th graders have explored three careers they are interested in. In researching careers, questions aline with their results from South Dakota My Life (career exploration and academic program). South Dakota My Life focuses on interests, learning styles, and personalities to help match students with a career that best fits them. During our classroom lesson in May, they will present to their class one career they are most interested in.
Classroom guidance lessons this week revisited Second Step in the elementary, besides 5th grade who have been learning the ins and outs of Growth Mindset most of the year. Second Step this week brought lessons of compassion, forgiving accidents, and accepting differences between one another.
With the conclusion of April, our Character Counts of the trait CARING have been selected! We are thankful for such positive caring role models in our school that offer kindness, generosity, help, and gratitude to their peers and teachers.
Pictured below are our caring students! Not pictured: Celia C -- 6th, Kayl R -- 7th, and Keira T -- 8th.

Things to Know!
- If your student is involved in an after-school activity, please be courteous and be on time to pick them up after practices and games. Many of our coaches and staff have children in other activities and need to leave as soon as practices and games are over.
- Parents, if you get a call to pick up your sick child, please make sure to come pick them up as soon as possible.
- The Lost & Found is full! Please remind your child to check the Lost & Found for any missing items!
- On days where the weather is bad, please remember to check the multiple sites where close closings are posted including Custer School District Website, Hermosa School Facebook, Custer School District Facebook, TV Stations (KOTA, KEVN, KNBN, KELO), and Radio Stations (KIMM, KKLS, KICK, KSQY, KTOQ, KZMX, KDLT). If you are not receiving messages via School Messenger (Text, Call, Email), please contact the school and we can help set that up.
- If you are picking up your student early, a parent or guardian must come to the office to pickup the student.
