Is Junior Kindergarten Academy Right for Your Child? Attend a screening night to find out!
The Sioux Falls School District's Junior Kindergarten Academy (JKA) is a FREE full-day program designed to help young learners build social skills, emotional confidence, and academic readiness before entering kindergarten.
To determine if JKA is the right fit for your child, our four JKA elementary sites will be hosting Screening Nights. During these sessions, families will meet with educators to assess their child’s developmental readiness and explore how JKA can support their learning journey.
If your child turns 5 on or before September 1 and you’re considering an extra year of foundational learning, we invite you to attend a screening night! Click the link for your school to reserve your spot.

Happy Social Worker Week!
In the Sioux Falls School District, every student's journey is unique. For many of the kids we serve, our school social workers are there every step of the way! Whether offering a listening ear, connecting families to resources, or advocating for students' well-being, their dedication ignites hope and creates lasting impact in our schools.
This year's theme, Unite to Ignite: Celebrating Our Impact, is a perfect reflection of how our social workers bring people together to create brighter futures for students.
THANK YOU to our incredible school social workers for your compassion and care!
