USD DENTAL UPDATE We received a message that the USD Dental Hygiene Mobile Unit has needed to make changes for the 25-26 school year, restricting their mileage, regarding how far they can travel to provide services to school districts :( How does this affect us here in Armour? Unfortunately, this means USD Dental will not be able to provide services to our school district like they have for the past years. With this being USD's first year under the new restriction (for the 2025-2026 school year), they mentioned that they would keep us updated if there were any changes to the new USD policy.

PLAN B for K-4 Celebration at the Park: Due to the weather, we are moving to the school gym at 1:00 for classroom celebrations with a movie party and popcorn. You are all welcome to stay and join your children at the movie party :)

Armour's Summer Skills Camp has dissolved, due to the expiration of ESSR (COVID-19) relief funds that previously supported the program to help prevent learning loss. If families would like, please purchase your child their grade level Summer Bridge Boolets. If they complete their booklets and turn them in the very first week of school in the fall, we will still have a pizza party for those students :) To purchase a booklet, please feel free to check out amazon.com or https://www.google.com/search?q=summer+bridgebooklet&rlz=1C1GCEB_enUS957US1067&oq=summer+bridgebooklet&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQIRgKGKABMgkIAhAhGAoYoAEyCQgDECEYChigATIJCAQQIRgKGKABMgcIBRAhGI8CMgcIBhAhGI8C0gEIMzkyNmoxajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Holbeck or Mrs. Bigge at the school at 605-724-2153
