8th grade girls basketball went to the USD vs University of Denver women's basketball game recently thanks to Promising Futures. We love these experiences our students get!

We are so proud of our newest Bison Spotlight recipients!

Friday, January 23, 2026, will be a Remote Learning Day in the Sioux Falls School District!
iPads and Chromebooks were sent home with each student earlier today. We will not have in-person learning in the schools, but students are expected to connect to their Canvas account from home for assignments and learning resources. They have practiced this at school and know what is expected of them.
