Congratulations to all of the Baltic art students who had artwork at the State Visual Arts Contest in Rapid City this past weekend! Their artwork was on display at the Monument Civic Center. Baltic placed 5th out of 18 teams competing in class A. We had four students medal in their categories, Lydia Magnuson, Grace Wolff, Coryn Wolff, and Shelby Appel. Great Job!
Dear Parents,
For some unknown reason, the school phones are down, so we cannot accept incoming calls or make out-going calls. We have contacted Alliance Communications and hopefully it will be resolved soon, in which case I will send another email.
Supt. Bob Sittig
Estimados padres,
Por alguna razón desconocida, los teléfonos de la escuela están caídos, por lo que no podemos aceptar llamadas entrantes ni realizar llamadas salientes. Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Alliance Communications y esperamos que se resuelva pronto, en cuyo caso enviaré otro correo electrónico.

New School Construction Update
If you drove by the east side of the school yesterday, you saw construction equipment in operation, which is very exciting. Let me explain how we got to this point and what you can expect moving forward.
1. Our general contractor Hoogendoorn Construction has submitted an application to the City of Baltic for a building permit, which is required of all such projects. The City has granted an excavation permit that allows the dirt work to commence, which began yesterday.
2. As is the usual process, the City examined the construction plans, and they have identified a couple of issues where the plans do not comply with existing zoning regulations and/or City ordinances. City personnel has been working with school architects and engineers to develop options for addressing the deficiencies and it appears workable solutions have been agreed upon. Without going into great detail, the issues will be addressed at a City Planning and Zoning Commission meeting at 6:00 pm on March 22nd and at a special meeting of the City Council at 6:30 pm also on March 22nd. Discussions with City personnel make us optimistic that the zoning/ordinance issues will be resolved at those meetings, the building permit approved, and construction will commence on schedule. Ryan Fods, City Planning and Zoning Administrator, has been especially helpful in this process.
3. For those of you interested in construction details, the contractor plans to begin pouring footings by mid-April, and they hope to have the building enclosed by Christmas with final completion and occupancy by the start of the 2024-25 school year, assuming optimal construction conditions.
4. Our vocational classes will use drones to document construction progress, and pictures will be posted on the school website under the Building Project tab.
5. Keep in mind that this is a construction site involving heavy equipment. Please stay out of the construction site, and practice good safety protocols when driving in that area. Bulldog Avenue will remain open for the remainder of this school year, but shortly after the last day of school in May, it will be closed for the summer east of the high school gym all the way to 5th Street. How construction will affect parking and traffic on the east side of the school next school year will be decided at a later date.
6. We are very excited to see construction begin, but there will be a few disruptions to normal activity during the process. Thank you to the residents of the Baltic School District for approving this project, which will be a great addition to our community and serve our educational needs well into the future.
