Latest Communication to SFSD Families: Hello SFSD Staff and Parents – As we close out the last full week of remote learning for the 2019-20 school year, we are filled with gratitude for the adjustments you’ve made, the support you’ve provided, and the partnerships we’ve formed to educate students together through this unusual time.

During virtual meetings with teachers this week, we heard an interesting theme emerge. Staff told us how much they appreciated getting to know the families of their students during 4th quarter! Student success is built on relationships. Remote learning required all of us to work together – and parents… you delivered on that! Thank you!

+ While you’re still in the “school-mode” for a few more days, please consider filling out the required Annual Student Information Update (Online Registration) for the fall. This info allows us to plan accordingly for when students return in the fall. This is done through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. After logging into the Parent Portal, select the option 'More' from the left menu and a link for Annual Information Update will display.

+ FREE meal distribution continues at school sites on M, W, F at Anne Sullivan, Lowell, Hawthorne, Hayward, Laura B Anderson, and Terry Redlin Elementary Schools. These meals are for any child, ages 1-18. There are no income guidelines. In addition, bus routes will continue to run on Tuesday and Thursday.

+ The 5th Community Engagement Meeting regarding school attendance boundaries is scheduled for Monday, May 18. Info about how to participate will be sent Monday.

+ Tomorrow, Saturday, May 16, 2020 is Armed Forces Day. While this day is set aside to honor active duty service men and women, these warriors are sharing the thanks meant for them by conducting “fly-overs” to honor hospital workers and first responders in eastern South Dakota. The SD Air National Guard will be in the skies over Sioux Falls tomorrow sometime around 2:50pm to 3:00pm (give or take). Step outside to enjoy the view and show your appreciation to those who selflessly give to make life better for others.

+ Be Well! #ProudToBeSFSD!
