Attention Belle Fourche Elementary Families who have students who attend the after-school TRAK program. Due to weather conditions, there will not be afterschool TRAK today. Please pick your TRAK students up as soon as possible after school from the South Park Office after unless other arrangements have been communicated to your student’s teacher. All Kindergarten students who normally ride the bus to South Park for TRAK can picked up from the office as well. Please use DoJo to communicate with your student’s teacher if afterschool plans have changed.
Due to the train all buses are running about 30 minutes behind schedule.
On 11/11/2022 at 10:30 South Park students will be celebrating the Veterans in our community. Space is limited so we ask that only Veterans and their family attend. The students will perform the songs from this program for family and friends at their Christmas Program in December. Thank you for understanding and for helping us celebrate our Veterans!

South Park students were busy bringing awareness to childhood cancer through Grayson's pop top challenge. Grayson is a 6th grader from Spearfish who has been battling cancer since he was 4 years old. During this time he became known as the Pop-Top kid in an effort to bring awareness of childhood cancer and to support the Ronald McDonald House. Mrs. Scott's class won the challenge by bringing the most pop-tabs.
Start saving your pop tabs now for next years collection.
Thank You PTO for organizing the 2nd Chance Broncs Shirt event. This drive provided nearly 100 Bronc shirts for students to wear on Homecoming Friday!
If your child doesn't have a Broncs shirt to wear on Homecoming Day, please stop by South Park any day next week to pick one out. They will be hanging on the lost and found rack.
If you prefer, you can send a message to your child's teacher and they can pick one out to send home.
Coordinated by Elementary PTO
Monday Career Day: What do you want to be when you grow up.
Tuesday Crazy Pattern Day: Mix and Match your craziest patterns.
Wednesday Workout Day: Get ready to sweat! Wear comfy clothes that you can move and groove in.
Thursday Class Color Day: See flier for details. Kindergarten will wear the color of their door.
Friday Bronc Day: Show your school spirit by wearing a Broncs themed outfit.
Lifetouch School Pictures are tomorrow, Tuesday September 13, 2022. All students will have their picture taken for the classroom composite. To order pictures visit mylifetouch.com South Park's picture ID is EVTZXRFVC.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and we will be joining the Pop Tab Challenge! We will be collecting pop tabs throughout all of September and I will collect them on the 29th to determine which class collected the most. The winner will earn a root beer float party provided by our PTO! Flyers are in your mailboxes, please send home with students this Thursday! I will bring a big tub to each classroom that we will be using to collect the tabs. Thanks for your participation!
