The Platte-Geddes School District, in partnership with South Central Child Development Inc., is excited to invite families with children ages 3 to 4—or those who will turn 5 after September 1, 2025—to explore the Head Start program.
Head Start offers free, home-based preschool education for families who meet age and income guidelines. This is a wonderful opportunity to support your child’s early learning and development in a nurturing environment.
If you or someone you know is interested, please don’t hesitate to reach out by calling 1-877-384-3683, emailing [enroll@sccdinc.com], or visiting their Facebook page at [@sccdincheadstart](https://www.facebook.com/sccdincheadstart).
We’re proud to support this enriching opportunity for our youngest learners and encourage all eligible families to take part!
Respectfully,
Joel Bailey

Platte-Geddes will be hosting the "Last Chance" Track Meet on Thursday, May 22nd. This meet was formerly the region meet, but it has changed due to the SDHSAA changing the state qualification requirements. Host schools used to receive reimbursement from the SDHSAA to cover meet expenses. We will be charging admission ($5 for ages 12 and up) to help offset expenses.
