On Monday, February 2nd, we celebrate the 100th Day of School—100 days of learning, friendships, and growth.
We’re so proud of our students!
The Sioux Falls School District, along with our friends at Vern Eide and the Sioux Falls Public Schools Education Foundation, is proud to announce that 105 outstanding educators have been nominated for the 38th Annual Dr. John W. Harris Teacher of the Year Award!
These teachers were nominated by students, parents, and colleagues who see firsthand the difference they make every day.
A judging committee will meet soon to select this year’s finalists. Finalists will be notified, and the 2026 Teacher of the Year will be announced on Monday, February 23rd!
Please join us in congratulating all of our nominees—and thanking them for the important work they do for our students and community!

The Sioux Falls School District is accepting applications for community members to serve on a 30-person task force to consider future facility needs. The task force will be made up of a cross-section of stakeholders who bring various perspectives and will meet four times in the months of April and May to learn more about enrollment, growth potential, and existing facilities.
Task force members could be current or future parents, non-parents, community members, business owners, or any other interested party who lives within the boundaries of the Sioux Falls School District. Members must be available for the following meetings:
Wednesday, April 8, 2026 - IPC at 5:30-8pm
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 - IPC at 5:30-8pm
Wednesday, May 6, 2026 - IPC at 5:30-8pm
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 - IPC at 5:30-8pm
Task Force members will consider recommendations made by the 2018 SFSD Facilities Task Force, which suggested that a replacement would soon be needed for the 100+ year old Whittier Middle School. Other renovations to bring schools up to current facility standards will also be considered.
The task force is the first step, with community listening sessions and a community survey, planned in the Fall 2026. Any recommendation made to the school board for large-scale projects requiring a bond referendum would be brought to a public vote in Spring 2027. The deadline to apply is Friday, February 13, at 11:59 pm. Apply here: https://edu.sogolytics.com/survey/form?k=SsXRVPsQRVTsPsPsP&lang=0 or use the QR Code.
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.
