Given the decreased rate of spread of Covid cases in our schools and community, the fact that vaccinations are readily available and being utilized, and nicer weather permitting the opening of windows in vehicles and on busses, the Lead Deadwood School District will be changing its language on face covering/masks while using school transportation from required to strongly encouraged. Beginning on Monday, May 3, face covering/masks will not be required to ride busses before and after school, to extra-curricular events, or on school field trips.

Lead-Deadwood High School will be conducting state testing next week, Tues-Thursday, April 20th-21st.

All students must restart their computers to ensure updates are installed. This must be done while connected to the school WIFI, prior to testing. Students will also need to bring wired headphones, wireless headphones will not be permitted. Extra headphones will be available if needed.
