Smee School District 15-3 Home

With the approaching winter storm and forecasted heavy snowfall, Wakpala Public School will hold classes virtually on Thursday & Friday, October 22nd & 23rd. Wakpala Public School will be physically closed Thursday & Friday, but classes will resume online. All students will be sent home with their computers today, October 21st. In preparation of closures, students have been taught how to log in for remote learning. They will need their login information & internet access. For those students who we are aware do not have internet access, paper educational packets will be sent home. During this time of closure, staff will also deep clean so the building is fully sanitized and ready to re-open on Monday, October 26th.

As we head into the winter months, communication becomes even more important.  There will be late starts, early dismissals and even school closures.  Wakpala Public School has a phone call & text option for direct communications to parents & students.  One of the first messages of the year went out this morning.  If you did not receive a call or text this morning & would like to be added to the list, please call the school at 605-845-3040 extension 110 or 108.  On top of the direct communication, we also post these announcements on our website ( https://www.smee.k12.sd.us/ ), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Smee-School-District-15-3-112898263441065/ ), KLND, KOLY, KDLT, KSFY & KELO-TV.  You can also listen to school announcements by calling the school at 605-845-3040, prompt 9. If you are ever unsure about the conditions & think there may be a change in our schedule, please use an alternate medium to verify.

With the start of school and our dedication to safety, we would like to remind everyone of the importance of screening yourself and/or your child for the symptoms of COVID. Take a moment to review the link & implement it in your daily routine.
