Tonight is THE night! Come out to support SFSD elementary schools without PTAs/PTOs as the Sioux Falls STORM take on the Green Bay Blizzard. It's also Star Wars night, so wear your gear and bring your lightsaber to this fun family event sponsored by LEVO Credit Union!
Yesterday, some special “May Day” baskets were left outside the office door. What a nice surprise! Thank you, preschool students!
Here is the link to our final newsletter of the school year: https://secure.smore.com/n/v5k4u. Enjoy!
The Weather Service indicates the greatest threat of severe weather did not materialize in Sioux Falls. We will begin our bus routes at approximately 3pm, so there will be a slight delay in getting elementary and middle school students home. High School dismisses at normal time.
Due to the weather 4-30-24, SFSD will hold all elementary students who walk or ride the bus until the system passes. We expect the system to arrive about 2:45pm and be done around 3pm. Busses will not leave the elementary schools until it is safe to do so. This will also cause a delay in middle school bus routes, so plan accordingly. If wx is still an issue at high school dismissal time, we will encourage students to wait to leave until the system passes. Thank you.
Weather may cause some challenges at school dismissal time today. SFSD will make plans with your child's safety as our highest priority. If there are changes, parents/guardians will be contacted immediately. We ask that you please monitor your phone and email closely.
Football & Star Wars Fans Unite! Fri, May 3-7:05pm Sioux Falls STORM take on the Green Bay Blizzard to support Operation Hope & Caring, a fundraiser for SFSD elementary schools without PTAs. Wear Star Wars gear, grab a light saber, and get in on the fun!

March Madness? How about Math Madness!
All classrooms were invited to participate in a "Math Facts Tournament". Students competed against their classmates and then were placed into their classroom’s bracket. From that bracket, students played against other grade level classrooms in a math face-off where they quickly solved math problems presented to them with a flash card. Students were eliminated until there was a champion for each grade level! Congratulations to this year’s Math Champions:
- Easton, 1st Grade
- Bentley, 2nd Grade
- Benny, 3rd Grade
- Luke, 4th Grade
- Caleb, 5th Grade
Champions received a prize and school-wide recognition. Great job, students!
