Dear Parents/Guardians:
Growth and Development talks will be given to the fifth-grade class. The talks are scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, 2025. The girls and boys will be taught in separate classrooms. Heidi Komes, School Nurse, will teach the girls and Mr. Hedderman, Principal, will teach the boys.
If you DO NOT want your student to participate in growth and development talks, please send a signed note with your child to give to the School Nurse or call the School Nurse at 605-347-5232. Please call if you have any questions. Thank You.
Do you have a family member in the military or retired from the military? Do you know someone in the military or retired from military? SWMS would like to honor these people on our Wall of Freedom. Please, bring a picture of this person to the office, we will scan the picture and return it. We will need to know the name of the person, which branch of the service they were in, and the relationship between this person and the student who brought in the picture. (grandpa, mom, family friend, etc) If you have previously brought in a picture we should still have that picture and there is no need to bring in another one.
On October 31st the cafeteria will once again be offering free breakfast to any SWMS student. This free breakfast is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club.
"We will have a 2-hour early release for students to give our staff time to practice district safety drills and reunification procedures. These drills are an important part of our safety planning and help us stay prepared to protect our students and reunite families quickly in the event of an emergency."

Safety
Absolutely no medication on your person, over the counter or otherwise. All medication must be given through the nurse's office.
Backpacks are to be left in your lockers. Our classrooms are very small and backpacks clutter the aisle. It is a safety thing. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
