Hello GOLDfamilies -  

I am very happy to announce that SC GOLD will conduct an on-site summer program from June 8 - June 26 & July 6 - Aug. 7 for 2019-2020 Jk - 8th graders.  (Yes - we have a new option for 6th -8th graders!) The on-line application is at this link.  https://forms.gle/6EQd6UBmwdqhCz4o9   Please complete your application online and submit as soon as possible.  Speedy applications will help me get the GOLDstaff scheduled. 

We have used CDC guidelines and information provided by other childcare and government organizations in our program design.  However, as always, it is up to you as parents to decide what is best for your children.  There is no way GOLD or any organization or person involved in GOLD can guarantee that a child, staff person or others will not aquire COVID-19.  We can only do our best to avoid it.  If keeping your children out of GOLD for the summer is what is best for your family, we understand and hope to see them this fall.  

Some of you may find it important to know that based upon a number of sources, we are not requiring staff or GOLDkids to wear masks.

For those who do attend, we will be outside nearly all of the time.  We hope to do alot of playing in parks, riding bikes, gardening, some more horseback riding, hiking, and much more.  And swimming -- the City of Fort Pierre intends to open the pool! 

Prior to June 8, you will receive our summer handbook and be asked to read and sign it.  In the meantime, if you have questions, please email or call me, 494-0439.

 Looking forward to your applications!
