FORT PIERRE, S.D.(DRGNews)- The Stanley County School District is ready to welcome students back to class.

Supt. Dan Baldwin says their first day is Aug. 23.

Baldwin says they want school to be “normal,” but they also want to be cautious.

This is Baldwin’s first year with the Stanley County School District and he’s looking forward to getting to know the students, staff and the community.

Because of federal COVID funds, Stanley County students will once again receive free breakfast and lunch meals throughout the year, but there is a charge for a second serving.
