This is a part of the Hitchcock City Wide Rummage Sales, so there will be other sales happening in town on Saturday too!

UPDATE ON MUSIC COLLABORATION:
The efforts to secure a collaborative music program were unsuccessful. Originally, five school districts, including Doland, Wolsey-Wessington, Hitchcock-Tulare, Iroquois, and Huron, agreed to collaborate to offer 9-12 band at the Huron Community Campus. The five Districts agreed verbally and planned to sign a memorandum of understanding. Doland had a teacher from the community step forward to teach Art, so they decided to step away from the musical collaboration. The Iroquois School District also changed course with plans to fill the position locally. The result of the two schools withdrawing left Hitchcock-Tulare and Wolsey-Wessington with a shared cost that was no longer feasible to accept.
The idea, collaboration, and effort to offer music were noble. However, the program will not be able to move forward at this time.
AFTERNOON BUS ROUTES WILL RETURN TO NORMAL TODAY AFTER SCHOOL. We are asking that parents please contact their afternoon driver directly if you still need to meet to pick up your student. If you need to get a message to your student please contact the office or send their teacher a message. Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility.

PLEASE READ ENTIRE MESSAGE: With the potential for winter weather on Friday, March 31st, the Hitchcock-Tulare School has put together a contingency plan for prom if we are not able to have it on Friday. The back-up plan will be to move it to Saturday with all start times (banquet, grand march, etc) and picture times mirroring the original Friday plan. We all know that weather is unpredictable and we are constantly getting updates from National Weather Service on this system. We will get an update tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon so a FINAL DECISION ON PROM WILL NOT BE MADE UNTIL TOMORROW BY 6:00 PM. This will give us a chance to look at the most recent forecast for this storm before making a decision and sending information out to everyone. We are hoping for the best and praying that this system slides south of I-90. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
