PARKER, S.D.(WNAX)- South Dakota students are wrapping up their annual ritual of standardized testing.

Parker School Superintendent Donavon DeBoer says the testing period was extended this year.

DeBoer says most of their students have made up for the class time lost to the pandemic in 2020.

DeBoer says there were setbacks in student’s emotional makeup.

DeBoer says they are working on clear communications with students, parents, teachers and counselors.
