Welcome to Summer from the Principal’s Desk! ☀️

Hello Quarrier Families,

I hope this message finds you soaking up some sunshine, laughter, and maybe a little well-deserved rest!

As we step into summer, I want to take a moment to celebrate all the amazing things our students, staff, and families accomplished this year. From academic achievements to athletic triumphs, concerts, plays, and community service, our school was buzzing with energy and heart. And now? It’s time to hit the pause button and recharge!

Summer is the perfect season for adventure—whether that’s a family road trip, diving into a great book, learning a new hobby, or just enjoying the long days with friends and family. Whatever your plans, I hope your summer is full of laughter, growth, and memories that make you smile.

While our hallways might be quiet for now, we’re already dreaming big for the upcoming school year. We’ll be refreshing our spaces, planning exciting new learning experiences, and making sure we’re ready to welcome you back with open arms in the fall.

To our new students and families—welcome! We can’t wait for you to experience what makes our middle school such a special place. And to our returning Quarriers—get ready for another amazing year of growing, exploring, and thriving together. If you need any assistance or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at larry.a.baker@k12.sd.us or 308-627-3477.

Until then, stay safe, stay curious, and don’t forget to wear sunscreen! 😎
We’ll see you in August—rested, ready, and remember not to hide that Quarrier Pride.

Warmly,

Larry Baker

Middle School Principal
