All permission forms and the technology user agreement are located on Parent Portal for parent/guardian review and signature. If you need help accessing your Parent Portal account, please call the school at (605) 725-7700.

The annual $25 Chromebook fee is an accidental damage protection insurance policy for your child’s Chromebook for the 2024-2025 school year. We strongly encourage you to pay this fee, as it can greatly reduce your charges during the year. If your child’s Chromebook is damaged due to accidental causes, you will only be charged $25 for a new policy. If the Chromebook is damaged due to negligence or purposeful mistreatment, fees will be assessed according to the use policy. We look forward to a great year with your students. If you have any questions, please contact the school at (605) 725-7700. Respectfully, Bo Beck Principal
