🔵 This is especially true with high quantities of recipients on a single email such as district communication emails. It is important to allow both hsdnoreply@harrisburg.k12.sd.us and harrisburg.school@harrisburg.k12.sd.us in the settings of your email account in order to receive district communications via email.

We will start our distance learning journey tomorrow. Below is a link to what is called a Smore, similar to a webpage, that has learning boards for grades JrK through 5th grade. The learning boards have activities and lessons for Wed.-Fri. of this week. Each week a new Smore with new learning boards will be sent to you. If you have any questions about the learning boards or can’t access the Smore or links to the learning boards, please contact your child’s teacher or school. https://www.smore.com/6aqx7-distance-learning

The Governor has requested schools to remain closed through May 1st. The Harrisburg School District will comply with this request. Distance learning will begin Wednesday, March 25th and continue through May 1st.
