ATTENDANCE LINE
When calling in absences for the day
or in advance we ask that you use our
attendance line. It is available 24/7
and it is very quick and convenient.
We ask that you leave your students
name, grade and reason for
absence. We thank you for your help
in keeping the office lines open!
Attendance Line: 362-2792
Fax: 362-2790
STUDENTS LEAVING EARLY:
If you know that your child will be leaving early for an
appointment or going out of town etc. we ask that you call ahead
of time and preferably before the day starts so we can get them a
pass at the beginning of the day. This way it cuts down on the
amount of disruptions we have in the classroom during the day!
We will get your student a pass and they will meet you in the
office at the time requested. We do ask that you come in and sign
your student out!
Thank you for your help!
Memorial Office Hours: 7:30am—4:30pm

ended on 3/17! Congratuations, Students, and thanks to all Sevenator parents and families.

SDSU Paul Witherington Contest for Prose
Rahul’s creative writing piece, “Jim Calling Jim” was chosen as 1st place for the South Dakota State University Paul Witherington Prose Contest. There were over 900 poetry and prose entries from all across the state, so Rahul should be very proud of his story. Rahul was invited to read his story during the Great Plains Writers’ Conference at South Dakota State University. His story will be printed in a “Winning Writing” chapbook and uploaded on the website as well. Congratulations Rahul!
