Platte-Geddes School District

Good afternoon everyone! With August quickly upon us, here is the supply list for middle school! We will also be hosting orientations for 6th grade and freshman again this year. Please be on the lookout as August gets closer.

Attention Platte and Platte-Geddes Alumni:
The east high school door and the northeast elementary school door will be open for tours on Saturday, July 26, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. All alumni and interested visitors are welcome to walk through the school buildings during this time.

We kindly ask for your understanding as summer cleaning and preparations for the upcoming school year are still underway.

Thank you,

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.
