Hayward staff have engaged in some undercover hijinks lately.
It didn't take long students to notice that teachers seem to match on our Twin Day!



A recent Facebook post regarding Washington High School falsely claimed a routine request for a birth certificate was related to immigration status.
State Law (SDCL 13-27-3.1-3.3) requires all public school students to have a birth certificate on file within 30 days of enrollment. When required records are missing from student files, school staff regularly attempt to contact families before sending the required information to the State’s Attorney.
These requests are made solely to ensure compliance with State Law and to maintain complete student records. They are in no way related to immigration enforcement. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our students and their families.
Please reach out to your child’s school or the district office with any questions rather than relying on social media for accurate information. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping student records up to date.


We have another school skate night coming up in March!
Get ready to lace up those skates and raise money for Hayward!



It seems hard to believe, but it is time to start planning for the next school year if you have a child ready to start kindergarten. See the infographic for more information so your student will be ready to join us on the first day of school for the 2025/2026 school year.


Do you or someone you know have a child who will be 5-years-old on or before September 1st?

First graders read the book "Perfect Square" by Michael Hall in library, then used a perfectly square piece of paper to create something new.
Check out the book here: https://youtu.be/lvQ2AW9f06g?si=vfdwhSLWq7z8vrHV
and enjoy a few snapshots of their masterpieces.
