Virtual High School launches March 15
South Dakota’s
new Virtual High School launches March 15. At that time, schools
can register high school students for a variety of
courses. Most of the courses currently offered begin with the
2007-08 school year.
Recognize your classroom teachers
Attention, school administrators! If you have a teacher who
represents the state’s best and brightest educators, we want to
hear from you.
New immunization required for kindergarten
The Department of Health’s Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices now recommends a two-dose Varicella series for
prevention of chicken pox. Schools will need to notify parents
of incoming kindergarten students.
22 receive mini-grants to promote healthy lifestyles
Twenty-two schools and childcare programs have received
$1,000 mini-grants to promote nutrition and physical activity.
The mini-grants will fund a variety of projects, including
family nights at the school gym, fruit and veggie eating
challenges, walking initiatives, and growing a vegetable garden.
Cultural exchange could take teachers to Turkey
Imagine touring a nation whose rich history bridges the East
and West – the country that introduced coffee and tulips to
Europe, and the birthplace of the writer of Aesop’s fables. That
nation is Turkey, and South Dakota educators are invited to
participate in a cultural exchange that could take them halfway
around the world!
Supplemental service
providers needed
Organizations interested in
providing supplemental educational services under No Child Left
Behind may apply now. |
