JH & HS Marching Bands were in Arlington on Thursday, September 29th. Next Friday, they will be in Chester.



6th graders worked with the Culinary Arts students to make fruit pizza's. Students made the cream cheese frosting and glaze that went over the fruit. They connected the things they did to their science lesson.


4th graders worked with the Culinary Arts students to make fruit smoothies. They learned about healthy snacks and the different measuring tools utilized in the kitchen.

Class of 2023 and 2035.
Seniors: missing Issiah and Levi
Kindergarten: missing Thomas, Keni, Diego


Parade will be outside at 2 PM. After the parade, everyone will enter through door A8 to hold the pep rally in the south gym. While it will take a little time to filter in, given the cold, wind, & wet ground, we believe this will be best for our students, staff, & community members. Go Elks!

Old Files:
Elkton Schools keeps student cumulative record files for five years following graduation, in accordance with state standards. At the end of that time, those records are destroyed and the only information kept is a record of attendance and transcript of grades and activities. Therefore, cumulative records from the Class of 2017 are scheduled to be destroyed this fall. If you are a member of the Class of 2017 and would like to keep your file, please contact Bonnie Yackley (605-542-2541 or Bonnie.Yackley@k12.sd.us ) as soon as possible. Those files not claimed by November 1, 2022, will be destroyed. Thanks!
