Dell Rapids High School Announcements:

• To all drivers: We have made great efforts to add parking spots in the school’s parking lots. Please use them! Residents that live on North View Drive do not receive their mail because cars continue to park in front of their mailboxes. Please, if any other parking spots are available, do not park on the side streets near the school. If you have any questions, please contact Eve in the office. 
• Students who drive to school and park in the north parking lot: Please drive careful while entering the parking lot and be aware of others. We have had complaints about students driving too fast in this area. Also there have been complaints about students driving recklessly to avoid buses. We value you and want to avoid any accidents or tickets. If you have questions, please see Eve

• Tip of the Week – Lunch Hour:
  • Students in grades 9 through 11 have a closed lunch. They are not to leave the school building at any time during their lunch hour. If a student must leave for a specific reason (and on a rare occasion), the student must have permission from a parent or the Principal. Seniors with senior privileges have an open lunch and are allowed to leave the building.
