Fidgets and Focus
If you were to walk into a meeting in the MS/HS Principal’s office, you might be surprised at the number of “toys” you see and question if you walked into a room designed for learners of a younger age. Why?

Teacher of the Year Nominations
Do you know a teacher who is dedicated, inspiring, and making a difference?
The classroom teacher is the backbone of the American educational system. No one person has a greater impact on the education of a child than does the teacher who creates the primary learning and instructional environment.
Nominate a teacher for the Deuel School District Teacher of the Year Award.

1st Quarter Completed
The first quarter of the school year is already behind us—it’s hard to believe that nine weeks of the 2025–26 school year have flown by! There are so many exciting things happening in our elementary school this year, which must be why time seems to be moving so quickly.
Test Scores
If we are more than a test score, why would you make us sit through ACT Prep?
As the state of South Dakota requires schools to move away from the Smarter Balanced test in favor of the ACT for our required state test for juniors, I hear many variations of this question from students and families.
