District-level Teachers of the Year from across South Dakota will be honored at a banquet hosted by the South Dakota Department of Education during the annual Systems Change Conference, Oct. 18-20, at the Ramkota Hotel & Convention Center in Rapid City.

The department will cover conference registration, lodging and meals during the conference for your district’s 2016-17 Teacher of the Year. The banquet will be held the evening of Oct. 19. This is a great opportunity to recognize and reward your district-level Teacher of the Year for always going the extra mile.

Please provide us with the name of your 2016-17 district-level Teacher of the Year by Sept. 1, so we can invite him or her to the annual banquet. Submit the information electronically via online survey.
