Expect Excellence
From the desk of Mr. Bolstad:
Welcome back to Sioux Valley! As you embark upon a new school year, we hope that you will expect excellence for yourself that will be reflected in your academic achievement, your co-curricular involvement, and your positive contributions to your school community.
This newsletter and attached handbooks are designed to make students and parents aware of the expectations and guidelines that make Sioux Valley a positive and productive school. Students are expected to read and follow the expectations and guidelines outlined. While the handbook does not address every practice and procedure, it will answer most of your questions about the rules and procedures that make Sioux Valley a safe place to be and learn.
We want great things for you; therefore, we expect great things from you!
As a student at Sioux Valley, you are now part of the Cossack legacy, a tradition of success and pride. Sioux Valley students continually make great accomplishments in their academic, athletic, and community service efforts giving great pride to the staff, parents, and the community. What will YOUR contribution to the Cossack legacy be? Sioux Valley will be what you, the students, make it—make it something GREAT!
