It's #NationalPrincipalsMonth! We want to celebrate our wonderful principals—and share a picture from their own school days! Today, we're featuring Simmons Middle School Assistant Principal Kelsey Scarborough—thank you for all you do! #GoEagles #AberdeenPublicSchools 💙💛

Seventh grade math teachers Ms. Brockhaus and Mrs. Thompson delivered an excellent presentation on using assessment data to South Dakota educators. They shared how teachers can use assessment data to meet each student's learning needs as well as how to ease anxiety that can come with testing. This workshop was hosted by the South Dakota Department of Education.
