FINAL REMINDER TO GET YOUR ATHLETICS PHYSICAL TURNED INTO THE OFFICE (PHYSICAL DATE MAY 6TH)
Dr. Jalen Lamb and Dr. Jenna Wickersham, along with other medical professionals, will be providing free (no-cost) sports physicals for student-athletes entering grades 6–12 at Sully Buttes High School. This opportunity is made possible through a partnership with the Rural Family Medicine Residency and is designed to help ensure all student-athletes have the required health checks completed before participating in sports.
The physicals are scheduled for May 6. We ask that each student-athlete pick up a Physical/Pre-Participation Packet from the school office or print the packet at home by visiting: https://www.abo.k12.sd.us/page/forms
Please return the completed packet to the school within the next few weeks. Paperwork can be turned in at the High School office at any time, and we will collect and have it ready for the day of the student’s physical.
To help the process run smoothly, we would like all paperwork submitted the week before the physicals. We would like to remind parents to please complete the SDHSAA HEALTH HISTORY FORM that is included in the packet. This is an often-missed piece of paperwork that the doctors need completed.
Having the paperwork completed and submitted ahead of time will help us move through the physicals more efficiently on Wednesday, May 6, and allow our physicians and medical students to focus more on student care rather than paperwork.

The Agar-Blunt-Onida School District is proud to recognize BankWest as the 2025–26 “Friend of Education” recipient. This distinction honors community partners whose commitment and generosity make a lasting difference for our students, staff, and schools. BankWest exemplifies what it means to be a true partner in education through its unwavering support, meaningful engagement, and vision for student success.
At the start of the school year, BankWest demonstrated its care for our students by organizing a school supply drive, generously providing a multitude of free supplies to ensure students were prepared, confident, and ready to learn from day one. Going beyond immediate needs, BankWest also secured an $8,750 Member Impact Fund Grant for our district. These funds significantly enhance educational opportunities by supplementing our welding program, health program, STEAM program, and fine arts, directly enriching career readiness, creativity, and hands-on learning experiences for our students.
Equally impactful is BankWest’s dedication to personal involvement. Team members regularly volunteer at our school and conduct classroom visits focused on financial planning and banking education, offering real-world knowledge that empowers students with practical skills for lifelong success. Through their time, expertise, and resources, BankWest has built authentic relationships with students and staff, reinforcing the importance of community collaboration in education.
The Agar-Blunt-Onida School District extends its sincere gratitude to BankWest for its generosity, leadership, and steadfast commitment to our schools.
