Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are excited to announce that we have developed a new attendance email address for our students. This email address will allow students and parents to report absences and tardies and receive notifications regarding attendance issues.

The new email address is: MeadeSMSOffice@k12.sd.us.

Please note that emails to this address will be received by our attendance office staff and will be forwarded to your child's teacher for record-keeping purposes. We encourage you and your child to utilize this new system to report any absences or tardy in a timely and efficient manner. This will help us to maintain accurate attendance records and ensure that your child receives the necessary support to succeed in school.

If you have any questions or concerns about this new system, please do not hesitate to contact the attendance office at (605) 787-4172 or at MeadeSMSOffice@k12.sd.us.

Thank you for your continued support in ensuring the academic success of your child.
