No weapons of any kind to school. There is no tolerance for weapons on school property before, during or after the school day. This call is coming because we have already seen incidents this year of students bringing knives or guns including BB guns and air soft guns to school. These incidents have happened at several sites, not just one school. South Dakota law requires our School Board to expel a student from school for 12 months if they bring a weapon to school. It does not matter why the student brought the weapon, and air guns are included in the types of weapons that require an automatic expulsion. Our primary concern is your child’s safety. Please talk to your child and make sure that they never bring any type of weapon to school. Thank you for joining with us to keep all of our students safe.
