If you're looking for a fun, easy, rewarding way to give back to the community, our partners at Reach Literacy have the program for you: BEE A Reader! Volunteers read via Zoom with 2nd graders, which means you can make a difference from anywhere. https://youtu.be/eOMsC3toG-k
This morning we welcomed educators from across the district for the first round of teacher orientation! Orientation and trainings happen throughout the summer to prepare staff for the 2023-24 school year. To all of our new teachers, welcome to SFSD! We're happy to have you!
Every one of more than 3,500 employees in the Sioux Falls School District is ultimately working to prepare each student for graduation & beyond. Our most recent grads are well aware of the people who helped them achieve success, & they have a message. https://youtu.be/Y42ht4sMhoA
This end-of-school-year message from Superintendent Dr. Jane Stavem updates the community on the success of 2022-23, our District priorities, our commitment to families, and our plans for the future. https://youtu.be/eeytz70pako

Happy last-day-of-school! Students across the district are enjoying their last-day field days and festivities! A big thank you to all the students, teachers, and staff on making this a wonderful school year. Have a safe, fun-filled summer!
It's been a busy week of field trips, school carnivals and outdoor field days! Trips to parks, special events, even trips to the Great Plains Zoo! Schools across SFSD are wrapping things up for the 2022-23 school year. Just one more day until summer vacation!
We recently showed you the brand new, state-of-the-art flight simulators Aviation students get to use at our Career and Technical Education (CTE) Academy, but this morning, these students were shooting for the moon. ROCKETS! https://youtu.be/E6A5IKklGCE
We have another Workzone Awareness Billboard Contest winner! Caylee McCkay's design urging caution in construction zones will be on display on I-29 off the Madison/Colman exit. To make things even more special, this design comes from the same Sonia Sotomayor classroom as Annika Kimber's, who won her own billboard artwork display just one month ago! Congratulations to this classroom of talented 4th graders!
With only a couple days left in the school year, it's time to start thinking about summer plans! SFSD has a wide variety of Summer School classes available. Registration ends this Friday, May 26th. Find all the info you need here: https://www.sf.k12.sd.us/page/summer-school

The Aviation program at the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Academy recently received a grant which allowed for the purchase of three, brand new, state-of-the-art flight simulators which rival the best anywhere in the state, including at college institutions. At an event on Wednesday, we celebrated the community partners of that program and allowed our Gold Card members (community members 60+ with interest in our schools) access to see and hear how it all works!
