In this week's Friday Focus: Hybrid clarity; thanks to a good man calling it a career; Winter Activities resume; SHS headed to State Debate (22nd consecutive year!); the use of the word "yo-yoing." https://www.usd376.com/article/376527?org=usd-376


2 parents per player will be allowed at Bennington this Friday. Bennington is using a ticket system for entry. 2 tickets will be given to your player in the next few days to bring home.

Just a reminder that USD 376 students can eat school lunch and breakfast for free until the end of the school year! You do not have to sign up or have an account. All students that go through the line receive a free meal.

Concert moved to 6. Please bear with us and our broadcast partner. Technology is a bit finicky on its last day before heading back to school.
