Todd County School District

​ The Todd County School district is proud to be partnering with Rosebud Education Task Force in their efforts. The educational vision of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe is all Sicangu students live healthy lives of self-determination that strengthen their communities and our Nation. In response to Covid-19, Rosebud Sioux Tribe Education Department is convening an educational task force including local education organizations. The purpose of this task force is two-fold: 1) To provide recommendations to President Bordeaux regarding the RST’s guidance for education plans for the 2020-21 school year. 2) To foster coordination and collaboration, rooted in the Tribe’s vision, among local schools as they plan and implement response plans to Covid-19. This group has met twice in June and aims to provide recommendations by July 11. One key input for this plan is student and family feedback. We ask students and families within the boundaries of the Sicangu Oyate, including families in White River School District, to complete one survey per parent, one survey per child in each household. In addition, Parents who are teachers, please feel free to complete both parent and teacher surveys. Here's the live links to the surveys: Family survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RSTFamily Teacher survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RSTTeachers Student survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RSTStudents Thank you for your partnership, RoseMary Clairmont, M.Ed Education Specialist RST Education Department
