Attention Incoming 6th Grade Families!
We are excited to welcome our newest Tomahawks to 6th Grade Orientation this week!
Wednesday, July 29th OR Thursday, July 30th from 9:00 – 11:00
Please have your student attend only the day they registered for. Please drop off and pick up students by the front office.
During orientation, students will have the opportunity to explore campus, meet staff and classmates, learn school expectations, and get comfortable before the first day of school.
We can't wait to meet our incoming 6th graders and help them start the year off strong!

2026-2027 Parent Acknowledgment Forms
The annual Parent Acknowledgment Forms are available in the Focus Parent Portal. Parents and guardians must complete a separate set of forms for each student enrolled in an SDIRC school and update their parent contact information for the new school year.
These forms include required annual acknowledgments and consent information related to transportation, student meals, student conduct, academic honesty, internet access, media and directory information, health services, library access, water safety and other required notices.
Forms must be completed before families can access the remainder of the Focus Parent Portal.
The district’s goal is to receive all completed forms by September 18.
For technology assistance, families may use a computer available in their school’s enrollment office. For assistance with Focus, call the Help Desk at 772-564-3066.
