Dear Wiki -

The Baan Dek Montessori became the first accredited Montessori school in the history of the state of South Dakota and this is important information for those concerned about education in the state. If the article as it stands does not meet your criteria please let us know how we can revise the article to accommodate your needs.

[edit] Notability and inclusion within Wikipedia

Hello. In order for an article to exist in this wiki it needs a few things:

1. Verifable references (press release statements, myspace, YouTube, etc. are not considered valid references)
2. Third-party citations for notability (media exposure, awards won)
3. Well-written, encyclopedic content

When citing references and notability, be sure not to use self-promoting citations (e.g., "The John Doe on-line University is a notable organization because it is internationally accredited by the John Doe Accrediting Commission (JDAC)." To the average person this sounds like it is accredited to itself by itself. Not notable. Now, if the JDAC actually is notable then it also needs citations (unless it is notable on face value like the New England Association of Schools and Colleges). You may also want to check out what Wikipedia is not and notability guidelines. I hope this helps you. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me on my talkpage located Here.
